I think we should just replace crypto_pcomp with a new interface that does what you guys want. The current crypto_compress interface is simply broken because it stores per-request state in the tfm. This runs counter to every other crypto type, e.g., hash or aead. The tfm should only hold shared data, e.g., compression algorithm parameters but not per-request state. As the original pcomp author has disappeared I think you could even drop the partial stuff and just do a straight compression interface.
