Yes. But the code might also be called from softirq context, when a
packed from the NIC gets handled or when a slot in the queue becomes
free. (I've also got warnings from those two cases in my logs)

The compress/decompress calls should be able to be run from softirq
(atomic) context just like encrypt/decrypt.

I'm just wondering, why does deflate_compress call deflate_comp_init
when it is called the first time, but deflate_init is a noop? Shouldn't
the deflate_comp_init call just be moved to deflate_init?
