There are Rx queues and Tx queues and no requirement to link them into a channel. It would be better (more flexible) to allow them to be independent. Rather than ask the driver "how many channels", ask 'how many Rx queues' and 'how many Tx queues' for which xdp stats are reported. >From there, allow queue numbers or queue id's to be non-consecutive and add a queue id or number as an attribute. e.g., [XDP stats] [ Rx queue N] counters [ Tx queue N] counters This would allow a follow on patch set to do something like "Give me XDP stats for Rx queue N" instead of doing a full dump.
