I'm somewhat confused, too, but looking at he code, there is not a single call to smp_processor_id() in crypt_convert(). Then do_autoplug_timer() runs from some kind of timer (INIT_DELAYED_WORK_DEFERRABLE), and I assumed that it may run on top of the stack of crypt_convert, interrupting crypt_convert like an IRQ. When doing I/O intensive stuff on an encrypted partition, a _lot_ of time is spent in crypt_convert, so statistically speaking a timer would have a high probability of interrupting crypt_convert() and not any other function. However, I don't know nothing about the linux kernel, never having done any serious kernel programming, so this is second-guessing at best.
