Hello,

thanks for the fast response and patch.

The patch works (I had to add an #include <linux/delay.h> /* msleep */).

I've tested it using 2.6.28.7 and the script below. With your patch the 
script was running over night looping about 400 times without any error. 
A crosscheck without the patch needed only 10 iterations to get an oops. 
So I assume you have fixed the problem I had. ;)

There stills seems to be another problem left, I've got 3 times the 
kernel-message

device-mapper: ioctl: unable to remove open device 
temporary-cryptsetup-21571

during cryptsetup luksOpen. I never realized that msg before, but I've 
found an old one in my logs too.

Anyway, this does not result in an oops, so I'm happy. Thanks a lot.

Kind regards,

Alexander Holler
