The purpose of commit 703eec1b2422 ("virtio_net: fixing XDP for fully checksummed packets handling") is to record the flags in advance, as their value may be overwritten in the XDP case. However, the flags recorded under big mode are incorrect, because in big mode, the passed buf does not point to the rx buffer, but rather to the page of the submitted buffer. This commit fixes this issue. For the small mode, the commit c11a49d58ad2 ("virtio_net: Fix mismatched buf address when unmapping for small packets") fixed it.

Patch looks good but a I have a nit:
It looks better to move this above?
if (vi->big_packets) {
void *p = page_address((struct page *)buf);
flags = ((struct virtio_net_common_hdr *)p)->hdr.flags;
} else
flags = ((struct virtio_net_common_hdr *)buf)->hdr.flags;
To avoid twice the calculations and reuse the comment.
skb = receive_big(dev, vi, rq, buf, len, stats);

skb = receive_small(dev, vi, rq, buf, ctx, len, xdp_xmit, stats);
