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.
