Still reproducible on upstream kernel 3.13.0-rc6. As with the other
kernels, it only happens when aesni_intel is loaded.

Title:
Kernel crash in ext4/ecryptfs after core dump in encrypted folder
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In my attempts to find an easy way to reproduce this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1265684
I actually found a very simple way to trigger a bug that is similar but not
identical. I suspect that both bugs have the same cause: something in the
kernel is disabling IRQs and the ext4 code will crash when this happens. The
stack trace for this bug is different from the other one. This one appears to
be less severe, the system is still usable after the crash, only the process
that caused the crash will hang (uninterruptible sleep). This bug is 100%
reproducible on both Ubuntu 13.10 with kernel 3.11.0 and Arch Linux with kernel
3.12.6.
The steps to reproduce the bug are based on this:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ext4/msg38949.html
* Set up an ecryptfs 'Private' folder in your home directory.
* In that directory, create a file called 'crashme.c' with the following code
in it:
#include <assert.h>
int main() { assert(0); }
* Compile the program:
gcc -Wall crashme.c -o crashme
* Change the core dump pattern so core dumps are saved in the current
directory:
echo "coredump-%p" | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
* Enable core dumps:
ulimit -c unlimited
* Make sure that you have a second terminal open to run dmesg, because you
may not be able to do so later.
* Run 'crashme' - this will hang and trigger the bug:
./crashme
