Hello, i suggest temporary solution to use swap file under btrfs.
I test it, and it work good.

I invent simple the way, how create and using swap file, just see
following sh code:

swapfile=$(losetup -f) #free loop device
truncate -s 8G /swap   #create 8G sparse swap file
losetup $swapfile /swap #mount file to loop
mkswap  $swapfile
swapon  $swapfile

i just adding this to rc.local and this work good.
May be, add it to btrfs Wiki as temporary solution to using swap file?
