Kernel 2.6.30.1
I try mount encrypted partition:
root@zlom:/home/maciek# cryptsetup create secret /dev/sda6
Enter passphrase:
Command failed: device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Zły argument
"Zły argument"="Bad argument"
Dmesg shows:
[ 193.421463] device-mapper: table: 254:0: crypt: Error allocating crypto tfm
[ 193.421471] device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
[ 193.465318] device-mapper: ioctl: device doesn't appear to be in
the dev hash table
BUT, I try again:
root@zlom:/home/maciek# cryptsetup create secret /dev/sda6
Enter passphrase:
root@zlom:/home/maciek# mount /mnt/sec/
root@zlom:/home/maciek# df -h | grep sec
/dev/mapper/secret 89G 42G 43G 50% /mnt/sec
Then it works.
root@zlom:/home/maciek# cat /proc/crypto

It looks like try_then_request_module has been broken such that it
returns without waiting for the module to complete loading. I'm
looking into it.
Thakns,

OK, it's caused by
commit acae05156551fd7528fbb616271e672789388e3c

module: create a request_module_nowait()
This should fix it.
module: try_then_request_module must wait
Since the whole point of try_then_request_module is to retry
the operation after a module has been loaded, we must wait for
the module to fully load.
Otherwise all sort of things start breaking, e.g., you won't
be able to read your encrypted disks on the first attempt.

It also seems to fix a netfilter problem with modules not loaded
automatically anymore.

They should still autoload, but now you need to retry the operation
manually :)

Right, the second attempt succeeded :)
