Public bug reported:
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.
