This comment isn't really helpful :(
I did the following and sparse does not seem to complain.

It's really always struct virtnet_info *vi isn't it?
Better use it as such so it's validated.
any local variables in a macro need to have very long names
otherwise it can shadow a local variable used in
a macro argument. E.g. __virtnet_xdp_get_sq_v.

I think it's just a tx queue index ... call it appropriately?

can curr_queue_pairs change after the call to virtnet_xdp_get_sq?
If it does the lock/unlock won't be balanced ...
pls add a comment explaining why that can't happen ...
or maybe better yet, just return the tx queue number from get and
pass it to put?
