Hi This is update "retain write ordering" patch that hopefully fixes the lockup. Please test it in the situation where you saw performance degradation due to dm-crypt parallelization patches. From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx> Reorder outgoing write requests so they submitted in the same order they were received in.
