Swap priority is -2. -2 is not mentioned as a possible value

% swapon --show 
NAME      TYPE      SIZE USED PRIO
/dev/sda4 partition   4G 1.8M   -2

% man swapon | grep -A8 -e '-p'
       -p, --priority priority
              Specify the priority of the swap device.   pri‐
              ority  is a value between -1 and 32767.  Higher
              numbers   indicate   higher   priority.     See
              swapon(2) for a full description of swap prior‐
              ities.  Add pri=value to the  option  field  of
              /etc/fstab  for  use  with  swapon -a.  When no
              priority is defined, it defaults to -1.

What is the meaning of priority -2?
