Do you not need an rcu_read_lock() around this and use of the num_queues value 
(as you have below)?

So, num_queues is your RCU protected value, rather than the queues pointer, in 
which case I think you probably need to change code such as

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c?id=refs/tags/v4.10#n216

to be gated on num_queues.

Also shouldn't xenvif_up(), xenvif_down() and xenvif_get_ethtool_stats() not be 
using rcu_read_lock() and rcu_dereference() of num_queues as well?
