Hi Gal!
Your mail didn't show up in my mailbox for some reasons, so I tried to 
construct it back from mailing list. This may end up with some side 
effects, but I did my best to avoid it.

It looks like the bugs were actually introduced by the commit in Fixes 
even though the commit you mentioned introduced the feature itself. But 
I might be wrong, I'll recheck it.

I was also surprised to see OOO completions but it's the reality. With a 
little bit of debug I found this issue:

[65578.231710] FIFO drop found, skb_cc = 141, skb_id = 140

[65578.672301] FIFO drop found, skb_cc = 173, skb_id = 149

It really shows that CQE are coming OOO sometimes.

Yep, and that's what I've seen before I fixed mlx5e_ptp_ts_cqe_drop() 
check. I added this counter just to be sure I won't happen again.

To properly check u16 overflow cases. (*fifo->pc - *fifo->cc) is casted 
to int if we don't put explicit cast here. And it easily ends up with 
negative value which we be less than mask until fifo->cc overflows too.

There is one fifo_push call in mlx5e_txwqe_complete before 
mlx5e_skb_fifo_has_room() is checked, so it can potentially overflow.
