dm crypt: allocate compound pages if possible
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It was reported that allocating pages for the write buffer in dm-crypt
causes measurable overhead [1].

Change dm-crypt to allocate compound pages if they are available. If
not, fall back to the mempool.
