I've noticed that net/core/sock.c contains an

In-kernel users of sockets probably manage without
needing to read SOL_SOCKET options.
(They do need to set SO_REUSADDR and SO_KEEPALIVE.)

sock_setsockopt() is exported because sunrpc needs it, and sunrpc can be
a module

sock_getsockopt() is not exported because no module needs it yet.

The day one user needs it, we'll add the EXPORT_SYMBOL()
