Hi,
I am using dpdk-test-compress-perf tool to test the compression engine on Bluefield2. The DPDK version is 22.11.1.4.2 and I directly use the dpdk-test-compress-perf tool under /opt/mellanox/dpdk/bin in the SmartNIC. When I use deflate as the compression algorithm, everything works well. However, when I changed the algorithm to lz4 using the following command, it seems that compression engine on Bluefield2 does not support lz4 compression.
sudo ./dpdk-test-compress-perf -l0-1 -n 1 -a 03:00.0,class=compress -- --driver-name mlx5 --algo lz4 --operation comp --num-iter 10 --input-file file.txt
EAL: Detected CPU lcores: 8
EAL: Detected NUMA nodes: 1
EAL: Detected shared linkage of DPDK
EAL: Multi-process socket /var/run/dpdk/rte/mp_socket
EAL: Selected IOVA mode 'PA'
EAL: Probe PCI driver: mlx5_pci (15b3:a2d6) device: 0000:03:00.0 (socket -1)
TELEMETRY: No legacy callbacks, legacy socket not created
USER1: Compress device does not support 4 algorithm
In DOCA documentation Compress Programming Guide - NVIDIA Docs, it says " The second one is struct doca_compress_lz4_job for operations that use the LZ4 algorithm". I am not sure whether it means that compression engine on Bluefield2 actually supports LZ4 algorithm. Could anyone confirm that and provide any suggestions? Thanks!
