ok, this is really strange.


One (random) guess from the log:

it means that code is using kernel userspace crypto
(and cryptsetup already revealed at least two problems there...)

Could you try it without it? (Code should fallback to old dmcrypt temporary devices mode).

You can do it either by

 - disabling/blacklisting kernel modules which provides it: af_alg.ko and algif_skcipher.ko
  (or disable CRYPTO_USER_API, CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER when compiling kernel)

 - try to run older cryptsetup (at least 1.6.4 or older)

I am afraid I cannot help more here without reproducing it...
(Is it RPI2 only issue or anyone see it on other ARM device?)
