Hi,

The purpose of the Multi-function API is to enable a broader set of transforms 
that aren't compression /crypto specific (CRC for example)
We had quite a few discussions on Multi-function in the mails below 

http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2020-February/157045.html
http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2020-March/159189.html

The v2 patchset will be ready for this in the coming days and we will include a 
cover-letter describing the feature and referencing back to the RFC discussion 
this time around

Regards,
Mairtin

Please could you elaborate a bit more?
Which problem are you trying to address?
What is the design?
How it can be used?

For such feature proposal, I recommend a design discussion before starting the 
development.
