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(
> invalid_mask), 0)) / (sizeof(uint16_t) * 8);

> - mask = vcreate_u16(n < MLX5_VPMD_DESCS_PER_LOOP ?
> - -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,
