FYI if this in a header it should be 'static inline'. That would be worth to fix.

We have a lot of 'static inline' in lapi headers. IMHO this is a good approach
for these feature specific syscalls, although Martin Doucha tried to get rid of
some static inline (moving them to C files in lib/) to avoid compilation problems.

But again, this is worth for some generic files long enough e.g.
lib/tst_netlink.c or lib/tst_netdevice.c.

Also static inline makes code to grow, but adding new C source to LTP libs makes
IMHO bigger code size increase (besides we don't care about LTP size anyway,
otherwise we would change linking similar to busybox - single binary providing
many functions).

And here as well.

Kind regards,
