Linux kernel source tree
82cb5be6ad
During a handshake, an endpoint may specify a maximum record size limit. Currently, the kernel defaults to TLS_MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE (16KB) for the maximum record size. Meaning that, the outgoing records from the kernel can exceed a lower size negotiated during the handshake. In such a case, the TLS endpoint must send a fatal "record_overflow" alert [1], and thus the record is discarded. Upcoming Western Digital NVMe-TCP hardware controllers implement TLS support. For these devices, supporting TLS record size negotiation is necessary because the maximum TLS record size supported by the controller is less than the default 16KB currently used by the kernel. Currently, there is no way to inform the kernel of such a limit. This patch adds support to a new setsockopt() option `TLS_TX_MAX_PAYLOAD_LEN` that allows for setting the maximum plaintext fragment size. Once set, outgoing records are no larger than the size specified. This option can be used to specify the record size limit.

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 reStructuredText 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.
