This seems easily fixable by checking:

priv->channels.num > 0

I'm not sure why I can't use txq2sq? Please see below for my
explanation about why I think txq2sq might be all I need.

I re-read the code several times and my apologies, but I am probably
still missing something.

I don't think a calculation function is necessary (see below), but
if one is really needed, I'd probably add something like:

static inline int tc_to_txq_ix(struct mlx5e_channel *c,
struct mlx5e_params *params,
int tc)
{
return c->ix + tc * params->num_channels;
}

And call it from mlx5e_open_sqs.

But, I don't understand why any calculation is needed in
mlx5e_get_queue_stats_tx. Please see below for explanation.

I read your comments a few times and read the mlx5 source and I am
probably still missing something obvious here; my apologies.

In net/core/netdev-genl.c, calls to the driver's get_queue_stats_tx
appear to pass [0, netdev->real_num_tx_queues) as i.

I think this means i is a txq_ix in mlx5, because mlx5 sets
netdev->real_num_tx_queues in mlx5e_update_tx_netdev_queues, as:

nch * ntc + qos_queues

which when expanded is

priv->channels.params.num_channels * mlx5e_get_dcb_num_tc + qos_queues

So, net/core/netdev-genl.c will be using 0 up to that expression as
i when calling mlx5e_get_queue_stats_tx.

In mlx5:
- mlx5e_activate_priv_channels calls mlx5e_build_txq_maps which
generates priv->txq2sq[txq_ix] = sq for every mlx5e_get_dcb_num_tc
of every priv->channels.num.

This seems to happen every time mlx5e_activate_priv_channels is
called, which I think means that priv->txq2sq is always up to date
and will give the right sq for a given txq_ix (assuming the device
isn't down).

Putting all of this together, I think that mlx5e_get_queue_stats_tx
might need to be something like:

mutex_lock(&priv->state_lock);
if (priv->channels.num > 0) {
sq = priv->txq2sq[i];
stats->packets = sq->stats->packets;
stats->bytes = sq->stats->bytes;
}
mutex_unlock(&priv->state_lock);

Is this still incorrect somehow?

If so, could you explain a bit more about why a calculation is
needed? It seems like txq2sq would provide the mapping from txq_ix's
(which is what mlx5e_get_queue_stats_tx gets as 'i') and an sq,
which seems like all I would need?

Sorry if I am still not following here.
