Historically TCP has been limited to 64K buffers, but increasing msize provides huge performance benefits especially as latency increase so allow for bigger buffers. Ideally further improvements could change the allocation from the current contiguous chunk in slab (kmem_cache) to some scatter-gather compatible API... Note this only increases the max possible setting, not the default value. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/YTQB5jCbvhmCWzNd@codewreck.org Signed-off-by: Dominique Martinet <asmadeus@codewreck.org>
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.
