[SOLVED] Linux 6.8 hangs when using encrypted swap

After upgrading to Linux 6.8 (including the most recent 6.8.2.arch2-1), I noticed that the system hangs when swap is actively used.

My swap partition is encrypted with a random password as described in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-cry … sk_support

* I tried to use an unencrypted swap file on the same disk — the system does NOT hang (i.e. my disk is healthy and is probably not the cause of the hang).
* I tried to downgrade to linux 6.6.23-1-lts — the system does NOT hang.

Given these two facts, I suspect there is a bug in the 6.8 kernel, but I don't know how to properly describe and report it, so I decided to whine on this forum instead. Maybe people more knowledgeable than me can figure it out.

dmesg:

Re: [SOLVED] Linux 6.8 hangs when using encrypted swap

It starts w/ zswap writebacks, so you might want the check whether that's the issue, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zswap#Toggling_zswap
Did you check whether an unencrypted swap /partition/ still works?

Re: [SOLVED] Linux 6.8 hangs when using encrypted swap

With zswap disabled, it doesn't hang.
With an unencrypted swap partition, it doesn't hang (I just reused the same partition I use for encrypted swap).

So it seems that only the combination of zswap + encrypted swap causes it to hang

Re: [SOLVED] Linux 6.8 hangs when using encrypted swap

Probably fixed in 6.8.3-arch1-1 (at least I can't manually trigger the hang). If it doesn't hang again, I'll mark this thread as solved
