Hi Dan,
Thanks for your reply.

1) The new crypto acomp/scomp framework, provides both synchronous and
asynchronous comp/decomp
functionality with the same async-crypto(acomp) api(include/crypto/acompress.h).

2) Currently with new crypto acomp/scomp framework, the crypto
sub-system(crypto/lzo.c, crypto/deflate.c)
only supports synchronous mode of compression/decompression which
meets the zswap requirement.

3) The new crypto acomp/scomp framework is introduced in the 4.10.xx kernel.
With this new framework, according to Herbert Xu, existing crypto
comp(CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_COMPRESS ) api
is going to be deprecated (which zswap uses).

4) Applications like zswap, which use comp/decomp of crypto subsystem,
at some point will have to be ported to
the new framework.
