+ * POSIX Message Queue default values:
+ *
+ * MIN_*: Lowest value an admin can set the maximum unprivileged limit to
+ * DFLT_*MAX: Default values for the maximum unprivileged limits
+ * DFLT_{MSG,MSGSIZE}: Default values used when the user doesn't supply
+ * an attribute to the open call and the queue must be created
+ * HARD_*: Highest value the maximums can be set to. These are enforced
+ * on CAP_SYS_RESOURCE apps as well making them inviolate (so make them
+ * suitably high)
+ *
+ * POSIX Requirements:
+ * Per app minimum openable message queues - 8. This does not map well
+ * to the fact that we limit the number of queues on a per namespace
+ * basis instead of a per app basis. So, make the default high enough
+ * that no given app should have a hard time opening 8 queues.
+ * Minimum maximum for HARD_MSGMAX - 32767. I bumped this to 65536.
+ * Minimum maximum for HARD_MSGSIZEMAX - POSIX is silent on this. However,
+ * we have run into a situation where running applications in the wild
+ * require this to be at least 5MB, and preferably 10MB, so I set the
+ * value to 16MB in hopes that this user is the worst of the bunch and
+ * the new maximum will handle anyone else. I may have to revisit this
+ * in the future.
