LVM on Luks decryption (or wakeup) takes longer than usual

I can’t remember when this started happening, but I think it started after upgrading to Fedora 34 from 33.

When I boot or wake up from hibernate, I’m presented with a prompt to enter my encryption passphrase to decrypt my partition. After that, the boot process hangs for longer than I remember.
Why is that, and how can I fix or further troubleshoot?
I can’t tell if this is a LUKS/cryptsetup issue or a hibernate/boot issue.

I’ve got a standard LVM on LUKS setup that can be seen here:

$ lsblk

    └─lvg-home                                253:3    0   185G  0 lvm   /home

Here’s the output of dmesg around the time I think it’s hanging:

Thanks! That’s definitely it, and I think some updates got pushed to the repos that fixed the issue as well for me.
