not sure what's the default is. It's a standard qemu setup:
sudo /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -smp 4 -cpu host \
-kernel .../bld_x64/arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
-drive file=....qcow2,if=virtio \
-no-reboot -m 4096 \
--append "root=/dev/vda1 rw mem=GG vga=0 console=ttyS0" -nographic \
-fsdev local,security_model=passthrough,id=fsdev1,path=/data/users \
-device virtio-9p-pci,id=fs1,fsdev=fsdev1,mount_tag=hostshare1

Enabled CONFIG_NET_9P_DEBUG and everything looks normal:

if I read it correctly 9p actually responded with 8192 bytes of requests...
whereas the file size was 9624.
For large file sizes (in megabytes) the difference between what
sendfile is reporting and actual file size can be 3x.
In the small file case (like above dump) it looks rounded to page size for some reason.
