+with Dynamic Huffman encoding. RTE_PMD_QAT_COMP_IM_BUFFER_SIZE
specifies the size of a single buffer, the PMD will allocate a multiple of these,
plus some extra space for associated meta-data. For GEN2 devices, 20 buffers are
allocated while for GEN1 devices, 12 buffers are allocated, plus 1472 bytes overhead.
.. Note::
If the compressed output of a Deflate operation using Dynamic Huffman
- Encoding is too big to fit in an intermediate buffer, then the
- operation will fall back to fixed compression rather than failing the operation.
+ Encoding is too big to fit in an intermediate buffer, then the
+ operation will be split into smaller operations and their results will
+ be merged afterwards.
+ This is not possible if any checksum calculation was requested - in such
+ case the code falls back to fixed compression.
To avoid this less performant case, applications should configure
the intermediate buffer size to be larger than the expected input data size
(compressed output size is usually unknown, so the only option is to make
possible to enqueue is smaller.
To use this feature the user must set the parameter on process start as a device additional parameter::

+ -a 03:01.1,qat_sym_enq_threshold=32,qat_comp_enq_threshold=16
All parameters can be used with the same device regardless of order. Parameters are separated
by comma. When the same parameter is used more than once first occurrence of the parameter
