Yes, it is really not good :)
Bug http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7388
Attached patch fixes this problem, fix needed for stable tree too,
this is not regression, just very old bug...

From: Milan Broz <[email protected]>
Flush workqueue before releasing bioset and mopools
in dm-crypt.
There can be finished but not yet released request.
Call chain causing oops:
run workqueue
dec_pending
bio_endio(...);
<remove device request - remove mempool>
mempool_free(io, cc->io_pool);
This usually happens when cryptsetup create temporary
luks mapping in the beggining of crypt device activation.
When dm-core calls destructor crypt_dtr, no new request
are possible.
