    "content": "Inside the AVX2 code paths, there was special case code for loading two\n16-byte descriptors simultaneously, if that build-time feature was\nenabled. As well as not being enabled by default, these code blocks also\nwere incorrect as there is no guarantee of the two descriptors being\nloaded either atomically or in a defined order. If they were loaded in\nan unexpected order the driver logic would break. Therefore we remove\nthese blocks, and do come cleanup of the following code to remove\nindentation.\n\nNOTE: I've split out the removal and subsequent cleanup into separate\npatches for ease of review. These can be merged into a single patch on\nmerge, if so desired.\n\nBruce Richardson (6):\n  net/i40e: remove incorrect 16B descriptor read block\n  net/i40e: reduce code indentation\n  net/iavf: remove incorrect 16B descriptor read block\n  net/ice: remove incorrect 16B descriptor read block\n  net/ice: reduce code indent\n  net/iavf: reduce code indent\n\n drivers/net/i40e/i40e_rxtx_vec_avx2.c | 64 ++++++++-------------\n drivers/net/iavf/iavf_rxtx_vec_avx2.c | 80 ++++++++-------------------\n drivers/net/ice/ice_rxtx_vec_avx2.c   | 80 ++++++++-------------------\n 3 files changed, 72 insertions(+), 152 deletions(-)\n\n--\n2.40.1"
