Sure, will send an updated patch. Note that the compiler is actually
picking the max()
macro from tools/include/linux/kernel,h which does not lend to  nesting due to
shadowing (it also requires a cast due to stricter type checking):

make: Entering directory 'upstream/tools/lib/bpf'
  CC       staticobjs/xsk.o
In file included from upstream/tools/include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h:17,
                 from xsk.c:18:
xsk.c: In function ‘xsk_get_max_queues’:
upstream/tools/include/linux/kernel.h:43:12: error: declaration of
‘_max1’ shadows a previous local [-Werror=shadow]
  typeof(x) _max1 = (x);   \
            ^~~~~
xsk.c:443:9: note: in expansion of macro ‘max’
   ret = max(max(channels.max_rx, channels.max_tx),

cheers
