After installing the operating system, I forgot to make a swap partition and decided to create and mount a swap file in /swap/9p so as not to repartition the disk.

You need to create a swap file
mkswap /swap/9p/swapfile
write in fstab
/swap/9p/swapfile none swap sw 0 0
or you can try to enable
swapon /swap/9p/swapfile
See that everything is ok
swapon -s
just in case, look for fstab or look in man
PS I want to draw your attention to the fact that there are file systems on which swap cannot be placed. For example btrfs.
