Hm but I am not sure this is achieving that, or that it is needed. I
read the docs many times and I am not sure how it is supposed to work.
First thing I am not sure of is whether we need to ask for any flushes,
or it would be enough to loop until avail_in > 0 || avail_out == 0.
Since docs say that if avail_out == 0, zlib_deflate needs to be called
again in the same flush mode.
Current code fails to ensure this. It would happen on the next call to
compress_page, but a) I think that is unclean and b) flush mode will not
match.
So I think it would be interesting to try:
do {
get_page_if_no_space;
zlib_deflate(no_flush) == Z_OK or -EIO;
while (avail_in || !avail_out);
This would make sure whole input page is output before going to next page.
But my confidence level this is correct is not super high..
