[Shally] This doesn't return header_size inclusive which is fine as per API definition. So should application call 
rte_compressdev_get_header_session_size() in case it want to know header_size overhead per session and allocate pool with elt_size = sess_header_size + dev_priv_sz?

[Fiona] I don't see a need for this and will just return what the PMD returns.
Yes, appl should call rte_compressdev_get_header_session_size()
And rte_compressdev_get_private_session_size() for (one device in) each driver it wants the session to handle.
And pick the largest of these as the element size.
The idea is to use one mempool object for the hdr and another object for each driver.
So if the session is intended to be used on 2 drivers, then the pool should be sized so 3 objects are available (x max_nb_sessions). 
Else the API layer would need to store offsets for each type of driver as their session size would be different.
Instead the API layer doesn't need offsets as each driver just grabs an object from the pool and stores the ptr to this in the hdr array.

What would be a real life use case for returning both CRC32 and ADLER32?
Packaging the data once as Gzip and once as zlib?

What about Z_BLOCK and Z_TREES? Those are needed for sfwr zlib.net

[Fiona] We haven't seen a need for those. I would suggest proposing a patch later once the initial API is stabilised.

[Fiona] It does have the same meaning for compression/decompression?
Just for checksum it's different. Checksum is usually required on the uncompressed data.
In decompression the input buffer contains compressed data.

Hi Fiona 

While revisiting this, we identified few questions and additions. Please see them inline.

[Shally] Is max_inflights_ops different from nb_streams_per_qp in struct rte_compressdev_info? 
I assume they both carry same purpose. If yes, then it will be better to use single naming convention to avoid confusion.

Also, is it optional API? Like Is this a valid use case?:
dev_configure() --> dev_start() --> qp_start() --> enqueue/dequeue() --> qp_stop() --> dev_stop() --> dev_close()?

[Shally] Need to define argument macro for max_nb_session_per_qp and max_nb_streams_per_qp  as well

[Shally] And this also need to be updated with max_nb_sessions_per_qp and max_streams_per_qp

[Fiona] No, I think they have different purposes.
max_inflight_ops should be used to configure the qp with the number of ops the application expects to be able to submit to the qp before it needs to poll for a response. It can be configured differently for each qp. In the QAT case it dictates the depth of the qp created, it may have different implications on other PMDs.
nb_sessions_per_qp and nb_streams_per_qp are limitations the devices reports and are same for all qps on the device. QAT doesn't have those limitations and so would report 0, however I assumed they may be necessary for other devices. 
This assumption is based on the patch submitted by NXP to cryptodev in Feb 2017
 http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-March/060740.html
I also assume these are not necessarily the max number of sessions in ops on the qp at a given time, but the total number attached, i.e. if the device has this limitation then sessions must be attached to qps, and presumably reserve some resources. Being attached doesn't imply there is an op on the qp at that time using that session. So it's not to relating to the inflight op count, but to the number of sessions attached/detached to the qp. 
Including Akhil on the To list, maybe NXP can confirm if these params are needed.

> dev_close()?
[Fiona] I don't think it should be optional as some PMDs need to allocate resources based on the setup data passed in on this API.

[Shally] Ok. Then let's wait for NXP to confirm on this requirement as currently spec doesn't have any API to attach queue_pair_to_specific_session_or_stream as cryptodev.

But then how application could know limit on max_inflight_ops supported on a qp? As it can pass any random number during qp_setup().
Do you believe we need to add a capability field in dev_info to indicate limit on max_inflight_ops?

[Ahmed] @Fiona This looks ok. max_inflight_ops makes sense. I understand
it as a push back mechanism per qp. We do not have physical limit for
number of streams or sessions on a qp in our hardware, so we would
return 0 here as well.
@Shally in our PMD implementation we do not attach streams or sessions
to a particular qp. Regarding max_inflight_ops. I think that limit
should be independent of hardware. Not all enqueues must succeed. The
hardware can push back against the enqueuer dynamically if the resources
needed to accommodate additional ops are not available yet. This push
back happens in the software if the user sets a max_inflight_ops that is
less that the hardware max_inflight_ops. The same return pathway can be
exercised if the user actually attempts to enqueue more than the
supported max_inflight_ops because of the hardware.

[Shally] Ok. We too don't have any such limit defined. So, if these are redundant fields then can be removed until requirement is identified in context of compressdev.

[Shally] Ok. This sounds fine to me. As you mentioned, we can let application setup a queue pair with any max_inflight_ops and, during enqueue_burst(), leave it on hardware to consume as much as it can subject to the limit set in qp_setup().
So, this doesn't seem to be a hard requirement on dev_info to expose. Only knock-on effect I see is, same testcase can then behave differently with different PMDs as each PMD may have different support level for same max_inflight_ops in their qp_setup().

[Fiona] Ok, so it seems we're all agreed to remove max_nb_sessions_per_qp and
 max_nb_streams_per_qp from rte_compressdev_info.
I think we're also agreed to keep max_inflight_ops on the qp_setup.
It's not available on the info and if I understand you both correctly we don't
need to add it there as a hw limitation or capability. I'd expect the appl to set it to 
some value which is probably lower than any hardware limitation. The appl may then
perform many enqueue_bursts until the qp is full and if unable to enqueue a burst 
should try dequeueing to free up space on the qp for more enqueue_bursts.
I think the value it's set to can give the application some influence over latency vs throughput. 
E.g. if it's set to a very large number then it allows the PMD to stockpile requests,
which can result in longer latency, but optimal throughput as easier to keep the
engines supplied with requests. If set very small, latency may be short, as requests get
to engines sooner, but there's a risk of the engines running out of requests
if the PMD manages to process everything before the application tops up the qp.

[Shally] yes, by me.

[Shally] I'm fine with either ways. No preferences here currently.

[Shally] qp not necessarily has to be full (depending upon PMD implementation though) to run into this condition, especially when, say, Hw limit < application max_inflight_ops. 
Thus, would rephrase it as:
"application may enqueue bursts up to limit setup in qp_setup and if enqueue_burst() returns with number < total nb_ops , then wait on dequeue to free-up space".

[Ahmed] Agreed. The hard limit is left to the implementation.

[Ahmed] Makes sense.
