The max segment size is currently limited to the ethernet frame length of the kernel which happens to be 1514 at this point in time. However the NCM specification limits it to 64K for sixtenn bit NTB's. For peer to peer connections, increasing the segment size gives better throughput. Add support to configure this value before configfs symlink is created. Also since the NTB Out/In buffer sizes are fixed at 16384 bytes, limit the segment size to an upper cap of 8000 to allow at least a minimum of 2 MTU sized datagrams to be aggregated. Set the default MTU size for the ncm interface during function bind before network interface is registered allowing MTU to be set in parity with wMaxSegmentSize. Update gadget documentation describing the new configfs property.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
