There's aready warning in read_swap_header():
static unsigned long read_swap_header(struct swap_info_struct *si,
                                        union swap_header *swap_header,
                                        struct inode *inode)
{
	......
	if (last_page > maxpages) {
                pr_warn("Truncating oversized swap area, only using %luk out of %luk\n",
                        K(maxpages), K(last_page));
        }
	...
}

And if we add pr_err|warn here, we also need add it in setup_swap_map()
when filling swap_map.
