+Some of the above values will only arise in the op after an

+``rte_compressdev_dequeue_burst()``. For optimal performance on the data-plane an
+application is not expected to check the ``op.status`` of all ops after both enqueue and dequeue,

+op.status may hold the following values after dequeue:
+
+- RTE_COMP_OP_STATUS_SUCCESS
+- RTE_COMP_OP_STATUS_ERROR
+- RTE_COMP_OP_STATUS_OUT_OF_SPACE_TERMINATED
+- RTE_COMP_OP_STATUS_OUT_OF_SPACE_RECOVERABLE

+need for the application to check op.status - the application can simply retry in a later enqueue
+and expect success. Though the application is not expected to check for these, the
+values are as follows:
+
+- RTE_COMP_OP_STATUS_NOT_PROCESSED - could occur if a hardware device's queue is full, after a dequeue a retry of the enqueue can be successful.
+
+- RTE_COMP_OP_STATUS_ERROR - could occur due to out-of-memory or other transient condition which could clear after a time.
+
+Other errors may also occur on an ``enqueue``, but they are only expected to arise during
+development. As a retry with the same op won't be successful, if a performant application
+wants to avoid checking op.status on the enqueue it should ensure these never arise in a
+production environment, e.g. by checking device capabilities and validating input parameters
+before sending operations. Examples are:
+
+- RTE_COMP_OP_STATUS_INVALID_ARGS
+- RTE_COMP_OP_STATUS_ERROR (if due to a condition which is not transient)
+- RTE_COMP_OP_STATUS_INVALID_STATE

This statement looks bit confusing.
Seems like we are trying to add a description regarding op status check even after the enqueue call unlike current scenario, where app only check for it
after dequeue?

May be , you are trying to insist whenever the number_enqueued ops < number actually enqueued , then caller should check for status of num_enqueued + 1th op to know exact reason, and
take corrective measure before re-enqueuing it for following status condition:
1. INVALID_ARGS
2. INVALID_STATE
3 ERROR
Is that correct?

[Fiona] The line following this explains that there is no need to check op.status in this case.
Maybe it's not obvious that the application SHOULD check that all ops are enqueued?
I can reword as:
The application should always check the value returned by the enqueue.
If less than the full burst is enqueued there's no
need for the application to check op.status of any or every op - it can
simply retry from the return value+1 in a later enqueue and expect success.
If this isn't clear, can you suggest other wording - or expand on what's not unclear.

[Fiona] The app doesn't - it's up to the PMD to decide what the appropriate
return is using the logic described above. If the PMD encounters an error that's
not transient, and can be reasonably expected in a production environment,
then it should forward the error to the dequeue - where it expects the application
to check for it.
Should I add this note at the end of this section?

[Fiona] Only if the application has a slow-path for debug in non-production code.
In production code, for high-performance, I'm saying it's reasonable not to do this check.
The reason for calling this out is we did have cases where errors were being returned on the enqueue,
But the performance tool was not checking op.status of enqueued+1 and so getting into an infinite loop.
Seems reasonable that a performant application would also not check.
We've removed those cases from QAT PMD, and behave according to above logic.
But it's not described explicitly in this detail on the API - so think it's worth calling out this expectation.
Does it make sense?

[Fiona] The line following this explains that there is no need to check op.status in this case.
Maybe it's not obvious that the application SHOULD check that all ops are enqueued?
I can reword as:
The application should always check the value returned by the enqueue.
If less than the full burst is enqueued there's no
need for the application to check op.status of any or every op - it can
simply retry from the return value+1 in a later enqueue and expect success.
If this isn't clear, can you suggest other wording - or expand on what's not unclear.

[Fiona] The app doesn't - it's up to the PMD to decide what the appropriate
return is using the logic described above. If the PMD encounters an error that's
not transient, and can be reasonably expected in a production environment,
then it should forward the error to the dequeue - where it expects the application
to check for it.
Should I add this note at the end of this section?

[Fiona] Only if the application has a slow-path for debug in non-production code.
In production code, for high-performance, I'm saying it's reasonable not to do this check.
The reason for calling this out is we did have cases where errors were being returned on the enqueue,
But the performance tool was not checking op.status of enqueued+1 and so getting into an infinite loop.
Seems reasonable that a performant application would also not check.
We've removed those cases from QAT PMD, and behave according to above logic.
But it's not described explicitly in this detail on the API - so think it's worth calling out this expectation.
Does it make sense?

I agree to purpose of patch but have these confusions when I read description above:
My understand is , if op status is INVALID_ARGS or any ERROR which is permanent in nature,
Then nb_enqd return will be less than actually passed. Regardless of whatever reason, if any time app gets nb_enqd < actually passed, then app should check status of nb_enqd + 1th op to find
exact cause of failure and then either attempt re-enqueue Or correct op preparation or take any other appropriate action.
Also, STATUS_ERROR is very generic, it can be when queue is full in which case app can re-attempt an enqueue of same op OR
It can also indicate any irrecoverable error on enqueue, in which app just probably has to reset everything. For such kind of case, it might not be possible for PMD design
to even push it into completion queue for an app to dequeue . I would suggest add another status code type which reflect permanent error condition i.e. irrecoverable error code
which tells an app to perform PMD qp reset/re-init to recover and simplify description just to state an expected APP behavior to avoid infinite loop condition.
It is then an app choice whether or not to check for op status for error after enqueue depending on whether its running in production environment or dev environment.

[Fiona] I was proposing to constrain PMDs to only return a subset of errors on the enqueue, so apps could be optimised.
But if you think it's not possible for PMDs to comply with it, then yes, apps would always have to check
status of nb_enqd + 1th op, and fork depending on the status.
Is this the case?
If so, much of this patch is unnecessary and I'll send a simplified v3 as almost any status can be returned anywhere.

[Fiona] I wouldn't expect ERROR in a queue full case. I'd see ERROR as the catch-all when some
other specific status isn't appropriate. If you think there's a need for another specific status then
best send an API patch proposing it. This patch is only documenting the existing set.

[Shally] Okay. I seem to understand it now.
Purpose seem reasonable just a simpler rephrase would help.
It will be easier for me to further feedback on 1st v2 patch sent. So will send it another email.

[Shally] Sorry, I missed. STATUS_NOT_PROCESSED can be indication of queue_full.
STATUS_ERROR on dequeue = any catch-all error case
STATUS_ERROR on enqueue = any irrecoverable error on op. app should not attempt same op or may be reset queue pair or PMD.
Is this interpretation correct?

[Shally] I think this could be simply stated as "some of the above values may arise in the op after ``rte_compressdev_enqueue_burst()``" because except STATUS_NOT_PROCESSED, I don't see any other error code that cannot be returned from enqueue.
Like STATUS_ERROR, can be returned by both enqueue() and dequeue().

[Shally] this can be stated as "To facilitate optimization in applications running in production environment,
PMD should update and return op.status on dequeue unless in exceptional scenarios whereby error can occur on "enqueue"
> +For any error which can occur in a production environment and can be

[Shally] This statement looks redundant. If an op can be successful with retry, then no need for PMD to set an error on op. it can be left as OP_STATUS_NOT_PROCESSED.
Also, In normal scenario, if nb_enqd < actual passed, then app naturally attempt re-enqueue of an op.
So if less than the full burst is enqueued there's no

>Though the application

[Shally] these two statements can be combined as "if less than full burst is enqueued, then app shouldn't need to check for any error and simply should retry. However, if needed
Then app can check for following errors:"

[Shally] Rephrasing could be "Or, any other irrecoverable error , example INVALID_ARGS or STATUS_ERROR.
In such case, the same op wont be successful"

[Shally] I think this could be simply stated as "some of the above values may arise in the op after ``rte_compressdev_enqueue_burst()``" because except STATUS_NOT_PROCESSED, I don't see any other error code that cannot be returned from enqueue.
Like STATUS_ERROR, can be returned by both enqueue() and dequeue().

[Shally] this can be stated as "To facilitate optimization in applications running in production environment,
PMD should update and return op.status on dequeue unless in exceptional scenarios whereby error can occur on "enqueue"

[Shally] This statement looks redundant. If an op can be successful with retry, then no need for PMD to set an error on op. it can be left as OP_STATUS_NOT_PROCESSED.
Also, In normal scenario, if nb_enqd < actual passed, then app naturally attempt re-enqueue of an op.
So if less than the full burst is enqueued there's no

[Shally] these two statements can be combined as "if less than full burst is enqueued, then app shouldn't need to check for any error and simply should retry. However, if needed
Then app can check for following errors:"

In such case, the same op wont be successful"

Hi Shally,
Although we're close to agreement on this, I'm reconsidering.
I think the difficulty we've had finding the best wording highlights the confusion an app
developer will have in figuring out how to handle errors on enqueue.
So I'm proposing to drop this - which was intended to allow some optimisation - and instead
propose a more robust approach, i.e. add this to the doc:
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.
I know this adds an extra fork, so is less optimal, but once there's even a small chance that an error may occur on the enqueue, a robust application should probably check anyway.
What do you think?
If you agree, I'll send the doc update and a perf tool update to add the status check on the enqueue.
Btw - this doesn't stop PMDs from minimising those cases, just means they're not bound by the API to do it.

[Shally] Yup This looks absolutely perfect to me. So it is acked by me.
