Subject: [PATCH 7/4] ipc/mqueue: separate mqueue default value from maximum
value
commit b231cca438 (message queues: increase range limits)
changed mqueue default value when attr parameter is specified NULL
from hard coded value to fs.mqueue.{msg,msgsize}_max sysctl value.
This made large side effect. When user need to use two mqueue
applications 1) using !NULL attr parameter and it require big
message size and 2) using NULL attr parameter and only need small
size message, app (1) require to raise fs.mqueue.msgsize_max and
app (2) consume large memory size even though it doesn't need.
Doug Ledford propsed to switch back it to static hard coded value.
However it also has a compatibility problem. Some applications might
started depend on the default value is tunable.
The solution is to separate default value from maximum value.
