Currently, rx_stats were updated regardless of USES_RSS flag is

The issue is rx packets not incremented in mesh link and this change made to
overcome the issue.

OK actually, I'm not going to fix the commit log, you'll probably have
to resend it anyway.

This doesn't really make much sense? Not sure why that is even updating
anything at all, it doesn't update anything else?

Or at least you didn't change anything else, maybe you should have?

That seems unrelated.

Picking this for no particular reason - everything else in this patch is
unnecessary since we have rx_path_lock held afaict, so it doesn't
matter. The whole per-cpu status stuff only matters once you get into
fast-rx path.
In case of Mesh fast_rx is not applicable, but still USES_RSS can be enabled from driver when parallel RX is supported by HW/Driver, right? Hence checked for USES_RSS support to update per cpu stats.Please correct me if the meaning of USES_RSS is misunderstood and
it applies only when fast_rx for a STA is enabled.


I'd argue that had you written a proper commit log that actually says
why you need to change things, you'd probably even have noticed these
issues yourself.
