Thanks for the response Tyler. Just to clarify, I don't necessarily think ecryptfs is the reason for hibernation crashing as I don't always get this error (its somewhat random since I havn't figured out how to reproduce it yet).

Looking at the journal messages, I get the following:

Aug 24 11:40:03 harish-x250 kernel: ecryptfs_decrypt_page: Error attempting to read lower page; rc = [-4]
Aug 24 11:40:03 harish-x250 kernel: ecryptfs_readpage: Error decrypting page; rc = [-4]

So it seems like it has something to do with the kernel. When I first posted this bug I was on the 4.9.47 LTS kernel. Now I've moved on to non-lts 4.12.8 kernel so maybe this will make a difference. This might just turn out to be a non-issue kernel specific error.

Regarding your question "Do you have any ideas about which application triggers this warning?" I thought the application was ecryptfs? If it is not that then I have no clue.

I will report back when I am able to consistently reproduce this error :)
