Yes.

Not just that, this ndo can be called on arbitrary CPUs after a
redirect. The code just calls through from the XDP receive path so which
CPU it ends up on depends on the RSS+IRQ config of the other device,
which may not even be the same driver; i.e., you have no control over
that... :)

Well the obvious one is just:
tx_ring = priv->tx_ring[smp_processor_id() % num_ring_ids];
and then some kind of locking to deal with multiple CPUs accessing the
same TX ring...
