    Hello Ondrej...

    Sorry, it was not meant to be rude or anything... more frustration
    since I cannot be of more help and I really would like to jump in
    head-first and help fixing it... but lack the necessary insight into
    the kernel internals. But who knows, I started reading Robert Love's
    book... so, in a good decade or so. ;-))

    Thanks for that link. I have to read those more closely tomorrow, since
    there are some nice insights into dm-crypt there. :)

    Still, you have to admit, it is also rather frustrating/scary if such
    a crucial subsystem can have bugs over several major versions that do
    result in complete hangs (and can thus cause corruption) and are quite
    easily triggerable. It does not instill too much confidence that said
    subsystem is so intensively used/tested after all. That's at least how
    I feel about it...

    So long,
    Matthias
