Yes, the problem does occur in mainline 4.16 and I have added the
requested tag.
If anything, 4.16.1 seems slower than 4.15 release kernel even for no
cryptswap. It could be that my disk is too slow for cryptswap, but it
did work in 17.10.
The obvious work around is not to use cryptswap, of course.

Title:
Cryptoswap not working in Bionic
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in linux source package in Bionic:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have cryptoswap set up both with the 2 GB default swap file and an 8
GB swap partition with 8 GB of ram. However, the system does not use
this swap when it should. For example, if I run a little test code
which attempts to allocate 10 GB of memory in 1 GB chuncks, the system
hangs with no obvious use of swap. E.g. running top shows no swap use
before the hang. However, if I replace cryptoswap by standard swap,
it works as expected: allocates the requested memory and exits, using
swap. Of course, my disk is slow, so this takes some time but it does
work.
I originally noticed this problem when compiling a very large
application. The system would hang on ld. I've checked hardware
using memtest and stress. No problems. This took me days to track
down but I'm 99% certain now that the problem is with cryptoswap. If
I compile with cryptoswap: hang. If I compile with standard swap: no
problem.
