Resolution |
-This issue can be resolved by modifying -./quickassist/ -qat/drivers/crypto/qat/qat_4xxx/adf_4xxx_hw_data.c:50 -and changing dc_me_active_thd_mask = 0x03; to -dc_me_active_thd_mask = 0x01; and then recompile. -This modification is for the singular use case where -decompression performance at 8K is payloads is -required.
