In case of Mesh fast_rx is not applicable, but still USES_RSS can be

Yes, I guess that's true.

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.


Well, actually using multi-queue is pointless or even counter-productive
when you don't have fast-RX, since then you'll run into a common lock,
and doing much processing on multiple CPUs but under a common lock might
well be worse than doing it on a single CPU in the first place, since
you'll bounce the lock around all the time.

However, you're right that the driver might generally advertise
USES_RSS, but then not do it for mesh, but that throws off some
statistics.

Something like this might then be a much better fix though?
Below fix good to me and working fine.
