[PATCH] Export symbols for splice in modules

From: Christian Ruppert
Date: Tue Oct 08 2013 - 08:38:35 EST


The symbols splice_to_pipe, splice_grow_spd and splice_shrink_spd are not
currently exported from the kernel. This prevents the implementation of
drivers using splice in modules not statically linked with the kernel. This
patch exports those symbols to make it possible to implement splice in
kernel modules.
