    mac80211: fix miscounting of ttl-dropped frames · a0dc0203
    Bob Copeland authored
    In ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding, we increment the 'dropped_frames_ttl'
    counter when we decrement the ttl to zero.  For unicast frames
    destined for other hosts, we stop processing the frame at that point.
    
    For multicast frames, we do not rebroadcast it in this case, but we
    do pass the frame up the stack to process it on this STA.  That
    doesn't match the usual definition of "dropped," so don't count
    those as such.
    
    With this change, something like `ping6 -i0.2 ff02::1%mesh0` from a
    peer in a ttl=1 network no longer increments the counter rapidly.
