/proc/sys is different from the rest of /proc – its persistent
configuration has been /etc/sysctl.conf & /etc/sysctl.d/ since many years
ago.
By default, systemd-sysctl.service waits until systemd-modules-load.service
has finished processing /etc/modules-load.d before it loads the sysctl
configuration. udev also calls systemd-sysctl to reload net.ipv4.<dev>.*
and net.ipv6.<dev>.* settings whenever a new network interface appears.
To react to dynamically loaded modules, I guess you could use a udev rule
as well:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="module", KERNEL=="nfs", \
RUN+="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl --prefix=/fs/nfs"
For writing to various other /sys and /proc locations, use udev rules (with
ATTR{…}=) if it's a device setting, tmpfiles.d(5) otherwise.
