> Hi all,
> 
> I'd like to fix the vector_length_encoding error in `long_to_maskLE8_avx` and `long_to_maskGT8_avx`.
> Since the input parameter of `vector_length_encoding` [1] is the number of vector bytes (not number of vector bits), I believe we shouldn't `mask_len*8` [2][3].
> 
> The patch also removes an useless statement [4].
> 
> Testing:
>    - vector api tests on Linux/x64-{AVX512, AVX2}
> 
> Thanks.
> Best regards,
> Jie
