Some operations on mask are redundant and can be removed.
The change yielded 1.6% performance gain on N1SDP.
On ThunderX2, slight performance uplift was also observed.

Mmmm... I'm not sure we can drop the masking compressed (and following) CQE skip.
Let's consider the completion scenario (the series of 4 CQEs, each element is 64B long)

0: normal uncompressed CQE, ownership OK, format uncompressed, opcode OK, no error
1: compressed CQE, ownership OK, format compressed, opcode OK, no error
2: miniCQE array, format can be any!!, may be discovered as ownership OK, format uncompressed, opcode OK, no error
3: miniCQE array, format can be any!!, may be discovered as ownership OK, format uncompressed, opcode OK, no error

Obviously, we should unconditionally mask out 2 and 3, regardless of recognized their formats/opcode/error/etc.
I think we can get the diff above and skip diff below:

>  		/* D.7 count non-compressed valid CQEs. */
>  		n = __builtin_clzl(vget_lane_u64(vreinterpret_u64_u16(

> -				   -1UL >> (n * sizeof(uint16_t) * 8) : 0);
> -		invalid_mask = vorr_u16(invalid_mask, mask);

and get the correct final invalid_mask - all compressed and invalid CQEs and following ones will be masked out.

With best regards,
Slava

Thanks for your review and explanation about CQE processing details.
I did the change based on the fact that some calculations doesn't change the data. 
So some intermediate calculations were removed.

In the above diff section, result of 'mask' always equals to the nearest 'comp_mask' that above it.
So I just remoed 'mask' and use 'comp_mask' instead.

This diff section is similar to the previous one.
'mask' always equals to the nearest 'invalid_mask' that above it.
So entire line "invalid_mask = vorr_u16(invalid_mask, mask);" can be removed.

Code logic is not changed. But I'm not sure the code change impacts readability
or maintainability that you may concern.

Thanks.

Hi, Ruifeng

The invalid_mask is used to set error flags and calculate the statistics.
So, all the CQEs the first one with error or invalid status should be masked out
(and the CQEs after that).

IMO, what we could improve (apply just the part of the patch below):

And that's it. The rest of the patch:

Should not be applied, otherwise the following might be affected:

opcode = vbic_u16(opcode, invalid_mask);
...
opcode = vbic_u16(opcode, invalid_mask);

Now I understand it. What I was missing is inconsecutive mask bits.
Thanks for your patience.
I'll update in next version.

Mask of entries after the compressed CQE is covered by invalid mask of
non-compressed valid CQEs. Hence remove redundant calculation on mask.
The change showed slight performance uplift on N1SDP.

Fixes: 570acdb1da8a ("net/mlx5: add vectorized Rx/Tx burst for ARM")
