[Simon Déziel <1523155@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It turns out that the "dirname not found" error is a red herring because
it also occurs with previous kernel and doesn't prevent booting.

With the problematic kernel, giving  the wrong password doesn't ask to
enter the password so it seems it's not even verified. So whatever the
password used, the boot sequence just stops, nothing happens.

Title:
  [regression] 3.13.0-72.115 unable to boot with root FS under LUKS

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Early in boot, I see this:

   Mounting root file system ... Begin: Running /script/local-top ...
  /script/local-top/cryptroot: line 24: dirname not found

  Then get prompted to enter the LUKS password. Once I entered the right
  password, nothing happens, not even any disk activity.
