Let's raise the default msize value to 128k. The 'msize' option defines the maximum message size allowed for any message being transmitted (in both directions) between 9p server and 9p client during a 9p session. Currently the default 'msize' is just 8k, which is way too conservative. Such a small 'msize' value has quite a negative performance impact, because individual 9p messages have to be split up far too often into numerous smaller messages to fit into this message size limitation. A default value of just 8k also has a much higher probablity of hitting short-read issues like: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/409 Unfortunately user feedback showed that many 9p users are not aware that this option even exists, nor the negative impact it might have if it is too low.

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.
