Hi Fiona, Ashish

I'm going to add new HW offload compress PMD for mlx5 devices in 21.02.

I have some questions on the API:


#define RTE_COMP_FF_NONCOMPRESSED_BLOCKS        (1ULL << 11)

/**< Creation of non-compressed blocks using RTE_COMP_LEVEL_NONE is supported */



  1.  What does it mean non-compressed block ? DMA?
  2.  Does Using RTE_COMP_LEVEL_NONE or RTE_COMP_ALGO_NULL the same?

Probably I will add more question later...

Thanks
Matan
