yes right, but there is more lacks of missing "__init". See below.

This is wrong, it's callback from "struct pernet_operations lowpan_frags_ops".

Your patch adds "__init" now for two different functions and we have
two different declarations for these functions, depends if CONFIG_SYSCTL is
enabled.

Now if CONFIG_SYSCTL select we have as lowpan_frags_sysctl_register declaration:

static int __init lowpan_frags_sysctl_register(void)

if not:

static inline int lowpan_frags_sysctl_register(void)

Same for lowpan_frags_ns_sysctl_register and vice versa for CONFIG_SYSCTL.

Your changes are for two different functions (Don't know if you realized that):

"lowpan_frags_sysctl_register" and "lowpan_frags_ns_sysctl_register",
which makes no sense. Also lowpan_frags_ns_sysctl_register isn't called
by module init which is wrong.


To make "correct" cleanup for this "__init" should be add to the functions, for
both declarations if CONFIG_SYSCTL is set or not:

 - lowpan_net_frag_init
 - lowpan_frags_sysctl_register


I see now it's already applied, David please revert this change. Are you
fine to apply a correct version of this to wpan-next tree, next time?
