<content type='text'>
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.

<title>net/9p: use macro to define default msize</title>

Use a macro to define the default value for the 'msize' option
at one place instead of using two separate integer literals.

<title>net/9p: increase tcp max msize to 1MB</title>

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.

This patch addresses the following problems:
 - priv can never be NULL, so this part of the check is useless
 - if the loop ran through the whole list, priv-&gt;client is invalid and
it is more appropriate and sufficient to check for the end of
list_for_each_entry loop condition.

<content type='text'>
I met below warning when cating a small size(about 80bytes) txt file
on 9pfs(msize=2097152 is passed to 9p mount option), the reason is we
miss iov_iter_advance() if the read count is 0 for zerocopy case, so
we didn't truncate the pipe, then iov_iter_pipe() thinks the pipe is
full. Fix it by removing the exception for 0 to ensure to call
iov_iter_advance() even on empty read for zerocopy case.

I met below warning when cating a small size(about 80bytes) txt file
on 9pfs(msize=2097152 is passed to 9p mount option), the reason is we
miss iov_iter_advance() if the read count is 0 for zerocopy case, so
we didn't truncate the pipe, then iov_iter_pipe() thinks the pipe is
full. Fix it by removing the exception for 0 to ensure to call
iov_iter_advance() even on empty read for zerocopy case.
