As you can see, there is a Bugzilla entry for each of the listed regressions.
There also is a Bugzilla entry used for tracking the regressions from 2.6.24,
unresolved as well as resolved, at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9832
Please let me know if there are any Bugzilla entries that should be added to
the list in there.

well, there's another bug-entry about the same problem there:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10242
can you anyhow merge these two? (because the other one contains
some patches (unfortunately not final) )
a good workaround for now, one can revert the following commit:
commit ?3a7f6c990ad04e6f576a159876c602d14d6f7fef
dm crypt: use async crypto
dm-crypt: Use crypto ablkcipher interface
Move encrypt/decrypt core to async crypto call.

How do you know for sure it's the same problem?
An example from doing regression tracking for an earlier kernel:
There were four similar sounding regression reports.
Three for one regression.
And the fourth turned out to be a completely different regression.
Most likely it will turn out these two reports are for the same
regression, but until that's verified it mustn't be assumed that
they are for sure for the same regression.
