I am not closely following this series, but a couple of things caught my eyes.

Is this reasonable for stack usage?

Here we immediately exit if there is an error, but we don't below, we
just keep overwriting the error every iteration as far as I can tell.
Also, it doesn't seem like we do any cleanups if we hit an error
halfway through. Should we undo previously updated swap entries, or am
I missing something here?
