commit 9793c269da6cd339757de6ba5b2c8681b54c99af upstream. The commit5054e778fc("dm crypt: allocate compound pages if possible") changed dm-crypt to use compound pages to improve performance. Unfortunately, there was an oversight: the allocation of compound pages was not accounted at all. Normal pages are accounted in a percpu counter cc->n_allocated_pages and dm-crypt is limited to allocate at most 2% of memory. Because compound pages were not accounted at all, dm-crypt could allocate memory over the 2% limit. Fix this by adding the accounting of compound pages, so that memory consumption of dm-crypt is properly limited.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
