Yeah, this reproduces easily on my laptop. The switches are somehow much
more quiet and do not really hit the issue.

Mirsad, can you please try this patch? It fixes the issue for me.

Subject: [PATCH net-next] selftests: mirror_gre_changes: Tighten up the TTL
 test match
To: <netdev@vger.kernel.org>

This test verifies whether the encapsulated packets have the correct
configured TTL. It does so by sending ICMP packets through the test
topology and mirroring them to a gretap netdevice. On a busy host
however, more than just the test ICMP packets may end up flowing
through the topology, get mirrored, and counted. This leads to
potential spurious failures as the test observes much more mirrored
packets than the sent test packets, and assumes a bug.

Fix this by tightening up the mirror action match. Change it from
matchall to a flower classifier matching on ICMP packets specifically.
