Ubuntu bug #1788321 says they have fixed this in kernels: 
4.4.0-137-generic #163~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 24 17:13:32 UTC 2018 i686 
(above is Ubuntu16/14)
and 
4.15.0-36-generic #39-Ubuntu i686

This is still an issue with latest kernel on 32-bit Debian 9 kernel :
	4.9.0-8-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.9.110-3+deb9u6 (2018-10-08) 
gives:	swapon: /dev/sdb1: swapon failed: Invalid argument

so we are stuck on 4.9.0-7 

Any news on a fix, please ?
Thanks,
