Hello,

Alan Cox suggested I email you about a bug that I have found which has
manifested it'sself within an application that I use.

the following code reports how large the queue is in 2.2.x, but NOT in 2.4

ioctl(sock, TIOCOUTQ, &tcpbufsize);

on a 2.2.x kernel it tells me how large the tcp outbound (and inbound) queue
size is, but not in 2.4. This is breaking applications that scale depending 
on how full and empty the queue is.

Since it breaks at that point, I've not even bothered to check the other
functions that check the read queues.

Yours,
