That mempool/bioset is destroyed only when crypt mapping is destroyed, after workqueue is flushed, so it should not happen... Which command did you exactly run to trigger this? only sync & mkfs on existing LUKS device or there was also some cryptsetup luksClose (or something removing mapping) before? > kcryptd actually belongs to drivers/md/dm-crypt.c. So please post > to the DM list. yes, this is dm-crypt or block layer problem. But I read linux-crypto list too:-) Milan -- mbroz@xxxxxxxxxx -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
