Hi Yafang,

Thank you for the patch! Perhaps something to improve:

[auto build test WARNING on net-next/master]

url:    https://github.com/0day-ci/linux/commits/Yafang-Shao/tcp-show-number-of-network-segments-in-some-SNMP-counters/20180910-225108
config: x86_64-randconfig-x019-201836 (attached as .config)
compiler: gcc-7 (Debian 7.3.0-1) 7.3.0
reproduce:
        # save the attached .config to linux build tree
        make ARCH=x86_64 

Note: it may well be a FALSE warning. FWIW you are at least aware of it now.
