David thinks it may be a dm-crypt bug. References : http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/9/186

Sorry but I'm not the maintainer of dm-crypt. I think the best person to look into this is Alasdair Kergon.

Mentioned patch is here http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/14/71

(that patch is not complete BTW - there's a little more to fix that we're working on)
Ref. http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/15/38 it seems to be different issue, not related to dm-crypt regression. For tracking dm-crypt regression we can use bug 10242.
Latest patch for dm-crypt in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/17/214
Thanks, but does it fix the $subject problem or the bug #10242, or both?

Christian Kujau wrote on the thread that 2.6.25-rc6 with the patch referenced in comment #10 made the hangs go away. So I think I'll submit this patch.
