Re: [PATCH net-next 1/2] virtio-net: correctly update XDP_TX counters

Commit 5b8f3c8d30a6 ("virtio_net: Add XDP related stats") tries to
count TX XDP stats in virtnet_receive(). This will cause several
issues:

- virtnet_xdp_sq() was called without checking whether or not XDP is
  set. This may cause out of bound access when there's no enough txq
  for XDP.
- Stats were updated even if there's no XDP/XDP_TX.>
Fixing this by reusing virtnet_xdp_xmit() for XDP_TX which can counts
TX XDP counter itself and remove the unnecessary tx stats embedded in
rx stats.

Thanks for fixing this.
I wanted to avoid calling u64_stats_update_begin() (i.e. smp_wmb() in 32
bit systems) for every packet. So I'd like to keep sq stats in
virtnet_rx_stats.
