-or upon ipc namespace creation/removal (see the msgmni description
-above). Echoing "1" into this file enables msgmni automatic recomputing.
-Echoing "0" turns it off. auto_msgmni default value is 1.
+This variable has no effect and may be removed in future kernel
+releases. Reading it always returns 0.
+Up to Linux 3.17, it enabled/disabled automatic recomputing of msgmni
+upon memory add/remove or upon ipc namespace creation/removal.
+Echoing "1" into this file enabled msgmni automatic recomputing.
+Echoing "0" turned it off. auto_msgmni default value was 1.

+ * 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
