The compression engine stops functioning, and new compression requests may fail. Examination of tmctl compress table shows no changes for accelerated compression, over time.
No compression; or possibly compression performed only in software (which drives up the CPU).
Invalid request data passed into the compression engine can stall the accelerated compression engine.
Disable accelerated compression.
Added detailed logging and stats to provide a clear indication that the compression engine has stalled. If hardware accelerated compression fails, compression requests are handed to the software (zlib) compression provider.
