[PATCH v21 13/30] net: Make sock_splice_read() use copy_splice_read() by default

From: David Howells
Date: Fri May 19 2023 - 20:03:46 EST


Make sock_splice_read() use copy_splice_read() by default as
file_splice_read() will return immediately with 0 as a socket has no
pagecache and is a zero-size file.
