I started mke2fs on a large luks mapping (1TB). So that takes quite a while.
So I had some time to do some other stuff simultaneously. It happens that I
did a "sync" while the mke2fs command was still running. The sync immediately froze.
Then after mke2fs finished writing the inode tables it also froze.
Then I looked into dmesg and saw the oops.
I don't think I did a cryptsetup action while mke2fs was running. I just mounted a few
USB sticks and copied a few files around and did that sync operation...
