These changes look great, all applied to net-next, thanks.

I have to ask if you actually build tested this change at all:

net/ipv6/proc.c: In function ‘sockstat6_seq_show’:
net/ipv6/proc.c:46:10: error: implicit declaration of function ‘ip6_frag_nqueues’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
net/ipv6/proc.c:46:10: error: implicit declaration of function ‘ip6_frag_mem’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

It is absolutely impossible for you to have enabled ipv6 and not gotten
that build error.

Weird, I don't see any build error:

The only logical explanation is that you didn't commit the changes
to net/ipv6/proc.c in your tree when you put together these patches.

There is no change for net/ipv6/proc.c, ip6_frag_nqueues() and
ip6_frag_mem() are now defined as static inline in include/net/ipv6.h
which is already #included by net/ipv6/proc.c. This is why I still don't
see how that build error could happen.

Actually, the #ifdef CONFIG_IPV6 is not needed at all, as
sockstat6_seq_show() is their only caller, which is compiled only when
CONFIG_IPV6 is enabled.

Thanks.
