    Hi.

    I get random crashes/corruption/ init kills when I use cryptoloop on
    this highmem enabled ppc machine.

    Applying the loop-* patches at
    http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.0-test10/2.6.0-test10-mm1/broken-out

    seem to fix this problem (at least I did not get any crash due to
    cryptoloop in the last 2 days)

    Steps to reproduce:

    dd if=/dev/zero of=/file bs=1M count=100
    losetup -e blowfish /dev/loop0 /file
    Password:
    mkfs -t ext3 /dev/loop0
    mount /dev/loop0 /mnt
    cd /mnt
    dd if=/dev/zero of=bla

    gives you nice unpredictable crashes.

    Soeren
