With the vast amounts of data being transported around networks
and stored in storage systems, reducing data size is becoming ever
more important.
There are both software libraries and hardware devices available
that provide compression, but no common API. Such an API is proposed
in this commit, which supports the following features:
- Deflate Algorithm (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1951)
- LZS algorithm (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2395)
- Static and Dynamic Huffman encoding.
- Compression levels
- Checksum generation
- Asynchronous burst API
- private_xform - a place for PMDs to hold private data derived from
a xform and used by stateless operations.
- stream - a place for PMDs to hold private data derived from
a xform and also maintain state and history data. For
stateful flows.

Opens:
- creation of private_xform and stream mempools. In v2, config
added to give PMD the size params needed to create mempools.
Still open as to whether the pools should be created by
application, in API layer or by PMDs. Expect to resolve in a v3.
- alternative to mbufs for passing data between application
and accelerator. A lot of varied opinions on this, expect to
address in a future release.
- addition of hash feature - to be added by Cavium
- addition of feature to add capability to PMD to allow more than one
inflight operation from a stateful stream - to be added by NXP
Changes in v2:
- Add stream APIs
- Remove session
- Add SHAREABLE / NON_SHAREABLE private_xform types
- Add algo enum 'UNSPECIFIED' to fix warning in capabilities
- Change one remaining log to use dynamic logging.
- Add rte_cache_aligned keyword to op
- Rename enums with better names _ALGO, __CHECKSUM, _HUFFMAN_
- Use const keyword when passing xform
- Remove qp_count fn from dev_ops as never used
- Remove max_nb_queue-pairs from compressdev_init_param as never used
- Clarify device configure and start sequence
- Replace OUT_OF_SPACE with OUT_OF_SPACE_RECOVERABLE and TERMINATED
and clarified usage.
- Add stream and private_xform sizes to device config for use in
mempool creation
- Add capability helper fn
- Use Base2 log value for window size on xforms
- Add Meson build
- Update MAINTAINERS
- Update Map file
- Change order in doxy file
- Update Release note
