[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 3/4] compressdev: replace mbuf scatter gather flag

Pablo de Lara pablo.de.lara.guarch at intel.com
Wed Jul 4 16:10:36 CEST 2018


The current mbuf scatter gather feature flag is
too ambiguous, as it is not clear if input and/or output
buffers can be scatter gather mbufs or not.

Therefore, three new flags will replace this flag:
- RTE_COMP_FF_OOP_SGL_IN_SGL_OUT
- RTE_COMP_FF_OOP_SGL_IN_FB_OUT
- RTE_COMP_FF_OOP_FB_IN_SGL_OUT

Note that out-of-place flat buffers is supported by default
and in-place is not supported by the library.

Changes in v3:
- Replaced Out-of-place with OOP
- Added new feature flags in default.ini

Changes in v2:
- Fixed typos
- Rephrased comments
