Title:
  severe performance issue using mdadm raid5 on top of LUKS

Status in “cryptsetup” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I've upgraded to 12.04 a few days ago and since this, the performance
  of my crypto-drive is limited by CPU.

  I'm running an MDADM RAID5 on top of 7 independendtly encrypted drives
  (Seagate Barracuda XT 7200.12 2TB each encrypted using crypsetup /
  LUKS).

  The problem seems to be, that in 12.04 all encryption is done using
  only a single CPU core. In 10.04 each crypt-device used its own thread
  (kcrypt), that was the reason to encrypt each device independently and
  build a raid on top of the crypto devices.

  I'll attach a screenshot of munins iostat and CPU graph to illustrate the difference before and after the upgrade
