Why max netlink msg size is limited to 16k

I am observing that max netlink msg that my kernel module can send to
user app is close to 16K.

For larger sizes, genlmsg_unicast() succeeds but my app does not receive data.

I have tried increasing RECV buffer size in my user app but that does not help.

Regards
