ok, maybe it's useful to have some more details how to reproduce it as
easily as possible and about my configuration:

preparation steps:

1) 2.6.37 vanilla kernel with the mentioned changes to zram (and
xvmalloc), zcache (+ fixes)

configuration specifics:

CONFIG_CRYPTO_PCRYPT=y

2) on a non-btrfs partition or with zcache disable: get a
portage-tarball comparable to mine download from one of the
gentoo-mirrors (http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors2.xml), e.g. the
University of California:
ftp://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/gentoo/snapshots/

(weighing only around 40 MiB) then

get that tarball to a decent size by adding the latest changes from a
rsync-mirror (http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors-rsync.xml)

I can also upload my specific tarball weighing at 1.7 GiB at request -
just point me a place to drop it

3) creating a tar.bzip2 ball (preferably via 7z or pbzip2 so that it
can be extracted later in parallel to create some pressure)


Hardware:
core i7 860 (4 cores - ht -> 8 threads), 8 GiB of RAM,
underlying harddrive is a Samsung HD203WI, NCQ is disabled
(queue_depth set to "1"), using CFQ as i/o scheduler

echo "13" > /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster
echo "60" > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
echo "3000" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs
echo "1500"  > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
echo "15" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio
echo "50"   > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio
echo "50" > /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure
echo "32768" > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes

for i in /sys/block/sd*; do
         /bin/echo "4096" >  $i/queue/read_ahead_kb
         /bin/echo "64" >  $i/queue/max_sectors_kb
	 /bin/echo "1"   >  $i/queue/rq_affinity
done

nr_requests is set to "1024"

slice_sync to "150"
fifo_expire_sync to "50"

echo 4096 > /sys/class/bdi/default/read_ahead_kb


steps to get the "result":

1) cryptsetup-partition with aes or twofish-encryption (512 bits)
[using cryptsetup 1.1.3* or 1.2*]

2) on top of that btrfs

3) extracting the tarball (usually I'm adding a "time" in front to see
how long it took): time (7z e -so -tbzip2 -mmt=5
/system/portage_backup_022011.tbz2 | tar
-xp -C /usr/gentoo/)


"result":

1) it seems to take several seconds or even minutes until that BUG
message gets shown so maybe some memory (or other kind of subsystem)
pressure is needed to trigger it


I hope that's useful in reproducing the BUG


Thanks & Regards

Matt
