OK, thanks for clarifying.  Curious to know the circumstance (I
thought per-bio-data is zero'd -- but it may be I'm mistaken).

I won't be marking this commit for stable@ but if others feel
differently please let me know and I'll do so. (We can always propose
it to stable@, after the fact, even if the commit header doesn't Cc
stable@)

Yes, I looked into it and came up with the same hack.. and I too felt
it was too fragile due to open-coding direct access to the tasklet's
members.

I have a patch I just staged that staged that uses jump_labels to
optimize this code.  If you might review/test/verify it works well for
you that'd be appreciated:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/commit/?h=dm-6.3&id=ae75a25bd83f7c541240449d2fff3a44433e506b

It builds on your patch, which I added a comment to:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/commit/?h=dm-6.3&id=d9fe0a98a2e0a1cf585e8a6555afb33be968bd13

Subject: [PATCH] dm crypt: conditionally enable code needed for tasklet usecases

Use jump_label to limit the need for branching, and tasklet_init(),
unless either of the optional "no_read_workqueue" and/or
"no_write_workqueue" features are used.
