Is there support for hardware-accelerated gzip using QuickAssist?

Noticed that ZFS on linux supports Intel QAT-acceleration which results in significant performance gains for gzip-qat compression while decreasing disk utilization.


Is this something supported in TrueNAS 12? Wonder if there is a way to enable it manually?

I think the QAT side of this doesn't really work in FreeBSD yet. In principle, as soon as FreeBSD supports it, ZFS should pick it up and use it, as I understand it.
