It's showing that the call into the crypto API to actually encrypt the data is hanging. What I suspect is that you are *not* actually using software encryption, but rather a buggy driver for an off-CPU crypto accelerator. This would happen if your driver registers itself with the crypto API with a higher priority than the software algorithm you intended to use. To check what driver is being used, you can either check for a kernel log message that looks like 'fscrypt: AES-256-XTS using implementation "xts-aes-ce"', or check /proc/crypto for which xts(aes) algorithm has the highest priority. Which driver are you using, and is it upstream? - Eric
