yes, or test_bit(MLX5E_STATE_OPENED, &priv->state).

We need the opposite direction.

The goal is to calculate the proper pair of (ch_ix, tc) in order to
access the correct sq_stats struct in the stats array:
priv->channel_stats[ch_ix]->sq[tc];

Given i in [0, real_num_tx_queues), we should extract the pair as follows:

ch_ix = i % params->num_channels;
tc = i / params->num_channels;

Right.

Right.

Right.
But you can also access the sq_stats directly without going through the
sq. This is important as the channels might be down.

I see two possible solutions:

1.
a. in the base, sum all stats for entries that are no longer available
in the current configuration (independently to if the netdev is up or
down), like sqs for ch_ix >= params->num_channels.
b. in mlx5e_get_queue_stats_tx, access the sq_stats without going
through the sq (as it might not exist), this will be done for all i in 0
ti real_num_tx_queues.

2.
a. in the base, sum all stats for all non existing sqs. if interface is
down, then no sqs exist, so you sum the whole array.
b. in mlx5e_get_queue_stats_tx, go through the txq2sq and the sq, if it
exists, if interface is down just return empty stats.

I don't have strong preference, although #1 looks slightly better to me.
