> @jatin-bhateja @TobiHartmann I have already done a patch to fix and re-enable post loop vectorization using masked operations. My patch fixes several issues and is fully tested. Now the post loop feature works on both x86 AVX-512 and AArch64 SVE. I haven't pushed my patch for review because the dependent patch (#5873) has not been merged yet.

Thanks for the head up @pfustc , I haven't started with the implementation yet.
