So far 'msize' was simply used for all 9p message types, which is far too much and slowed down performance tremendously with large values for user configurable 'msize' option. Let's stop this waste by using the new p9_msg_buf_size() function for allocating more appropriate, smaller buffers according to what is actually sent over the wire. Only exception: RDMA transport is currently excluded from this message size optimization - for its response buffers that is - as RDMA transport would not cope with it, due to its response buffers being pulled from a shared pool.

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.
