  I agree with what @cfeck says. I can also already think of at least one case where even a 256KiB buffer would be too small, which is a dual-cpu Epyc system, where you can potentially have 128 cores / 256 threads.
  
  That said, I think a short-term buffer size bump is fine, I'd just increase it a bit more than 256, maybe make it 1024.
  
  Additionally, please add a comment regarding the limitations of the buffer size above the define, so that we can find some trace of this discussion in the future.
