Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] compressdev: replace mbuf scatter gather flag

External Email

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

[Shally] Believe Out of place is default support on current compression API, so
why do we need _OOP_ here?

Hi Shally,

You are right, but I just wanted to clarify that the scenario is for Out of place only.

Thanks,
Pablo

Thanks
Shally

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