- * Scaling factor to compute msgmni:

- * up to 8MB : msgmni = 16 (MSGMNI)

- * more than 16 GB : msgmni = 32K (IPCMNI)
+ * MSGMNI, MSGMAX and MSGMNB are default values which can be
+ * modified by sysctl.
+ *
+ * MSGMNI is the upper limit for the number of messages queues per
+ * namespace.
+ * It has been chosen to be as large possible without facilitating
+ * scenarios where userspace causes overflows when adjusting the limits via
+ * operations of the form retrieve current limit; add X; update limit".
+ *
+ * MSGMNB is the default size of a new message queue. Non-root tasks can
+ * decrease the size with msgctl(IPC_SET), root tasks
+ * (actually: CAP_SYS_RESOURCE) can both increase and decrease the queue
+ * size. The optimal value is application dependent.
+ * 16384 is used because it was always used (since 0.99.10)
+ *
+ * MAXMAX is the maximum size of an individual message, it's a global
+ * (per-namespace) limit that applies for all message queues.
+ * It's set to 1/2 of MSGMNB, to ensure that at least two messages fit into
+ * the queue. This is also an arbitrary choice (since 2.6.0).
