[solved] cryptsetup: Failed to setup dm-crypt key mapping for device

Unable open encrypted drives after kernel upgrade.

Kernel: 4.9.11-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT

Error message:

$> cryptsetup open /dev/sda1 a1
device-mapper: reload ioctl on temporary-cryptsetup-14348 failed: Invalid argument
Failed to setup dm-crypt key mapping for device /dev/sda1.
Check that kernel supports aes-xts-plain64 cipher (check syslog for more info). 

journalctl -f output:

localhost kernel: device-mapper: table: 254:1: crypt: unknown target type
localhost kernel: device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
