Thanks for your explanation! Maybe it's best for us to return to 2 pages
if no other people's comments. And this really need more documentation :-)
since there is no any comment or check in the acomp compress interface.

/*

struct acomp_req {
	struct crypto_async_request base;
	struct scatterlist *src;

	unsigned int slen;
	unsigned int dlen;
	u32 flags;
