You need to make that a 'static inline' in the .h file.
Otherwise the code generated will be horrid.

It would be much better to use the return value - say for 'iif'
then have:
{
	iif = inet_iif(skb) ?: skb->dev->ifindex;

if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NET_L3_MASTER_DEV)
	if (netif_is_l3_slave(skb->dev)) {
		struct net_device *master = netdev_master_upper_dev_get_rcu(skb->dev);

		*sdif = iif;
		return master ? master->ifindex : 0;
	}
#endif
	*sdif = 0;
	return iif;
}

The compiler might generate that is inlined, not inlined
it is definitely better.
