That is because dm-crypt calls "wait_for_completion" in rare cases when Crypto API (cryptd) backlogs the decryption request. I've reproduced that one as well (even with no FS). We never hit these problems in the original testing probably due to the fact we mostly used xtsproxy custom crypto module, which is totally synchronous. I did test it later with standard crypto, but did not encounter these problems as well most likely because it is also depends which storage driver underneath we are using: most of them do not submit read requests to dm-crypt in irq/softirq context in the first place > I've pasted that backtrace in my original Dec 14 message. > > Thanks, > Maciej > > [1]: https://github.com/cloudflare/linux/issues/1#issuecomment-736734243 Regards, Ignat
