As a complement to the per-socket sk_recv_queue limit, TIPC keeps a global atomic counter for the sum of sk_recv_queue sizes across all tipc sockets. When incremented, the counter is compared to an upper threshold value, and if this is reached, the message is rejected with error code TIPC_OVERLOAD. This check was originally meant to protect the node against buffer exhaustion and general CPU overload. However, all experience indicates that the feature not only is redundant on Linux, but even harmful. Users run into the limit very often, causing disturbances for their applications, while removing it seems to have no negative effects at all. We have also seen that overall performance is boosted significantly when this bottleneck is removed. Furthermore, we don't see any other network protocols maintaining such a mechanism, something strengthening our conviction that this control can be eliminated. As a result, the atomic variable tipc_queue_size is now unused and so it can be deleted. There is a getsockopt call that used to allow reading it; we retain that but just return zero for maximum compatibility.
