[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] doc/compress: clarify error handling on data-plane

[Fiona Trahe <fiona.trahe@intel.com>]

Fixed some typos and clarified how errors on ops which
fail to get submitted on the enqueue API should be handled.

v3 changes:
 - change proposal so appl must check status of op_enqueued+1 if
   all ops are not enqueued.
v2 changes:
 - changed "0 or undefined" to just "undefined" as 0 is superfluous.

+Operation status after enqueue / dequeue
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Some of the above values may arise in the op after an
+``rte_compressdev_enqueue_burst()``. If number ops enqueued < number ops requested then
+the app should check the op.status of nb_enqd+1. If status is RTE_COMP_OP_STATUS_NOT_PROCESSED,
+it likely indicates a full-queue case for a hardware device and a retry after dequeuing some ops is likely
+to be successful. If the op holds any other status, e.g. RTE_COMP_OP_STATUS_INVALID_ARGS, a retry with
+the same op is unlikely to be successful.

 Produced, Consumed And Operation Status
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 - If status is RTE_COMP_OP_STATUS_SUCCESS,
     consumed = amount of data read from input buffer, and
     produced = amount of data written in destination buffer
-- If status is RTE_COMP_OP_STATUS_FAILURE,
-    consumed = produced = 0 or undefined
+- If status is RTE_COMP_OP_STATUS_ERROR,
+    consumed = produced = undefined
 - If status is RTE_COMP_OP_STATUS_OUT_OF_SPACE_TERMINATED,
     consumed = 0 and
     produced = usually 0, but in decompression cases a PMD may return > 0
