Public bug reported:
ubuntu 20.4
Linux eb850 5.4.0-62-generic #70-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 12 12:45:47 UTC 2021 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Simple copy big file:
janusz@eb850:~$ ls -al tmp.tar.gz

janusz@eb850:~$ cp tmp.tar.gz tmp2.tar.gz
GUI apps became unresponsive - slack/teams/firefox ...
Top show all CPU (cores) ~100% usage in WA (io and kcryptd).

Is there any option that will change/tune kcryptd (dm-crypt) to not use all
cores?
Today any operation like cp/zip/unzip/git with large files, couse I can't use
ubuntu at all.
