From 6a3f30b8bdb23842aff5eea65b6a7693c49f5506 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Mon, 22 May 2023 14:49:52 +0100 Subject: splice: Make do_splice_to() generic and export it Rename do_splice_to() to vfs_splice_read() and export it so that it can be used as a helper when calling down to a lower layer filesystem as it performs all the necessary checks[1].
