commit d28c756caee6e414d9ba367d0b92da24145af2a8 upstream. The zero-copy optimization when reading or writing large chunks of data is quite useful. However, the 9p messages created through the zero-copy write path have an incorrect message size: it should be the size of the header + size of the data being written but instead it's just the size of the header. This only works if the server ignores the size field of the message and otherwise breaks the framing of the protocol. Fix this by re-writing the message size field with the correct value. Tested by running `dd if=/dev/zero of=out bs=4k count=1` inside a virtio-9p mount.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
