[PATCH vfs/for-next 0/3] Move splice_to_socket to net/socket.c
From: Joe Damato

Greetings:
While reading through the splice and socket code I noticed that some
splice helpers (like sock_splice_read and sock_splice_eof) live in
net/socket.c, but splice_to_socket does not.
I am not sure if there is a reason for this, but it seems like moving
this code provides some advantages:
- Eliminates the #ifdef CONFIG_NET from fs/splice.c
- Keeps the socket related splice helpers together in net/socket.c
where it seems (IMHO) more logical for them to live
This change is essentially cleanup; no functional changes to splice are
introduced.
I based this change on vfs/for-next since 2 of the 3 patches are vfs,
but I am happy to rebase this on another tree if necessary.
Thanks,
Joe
