socket: Use a default listen backlog of -1 on Linux
On FreeBSD, OpenBSD & macOS we use a default listen(2) backlog of -1
which means use the OS's default value.
On Linux (and others) we used a hard coded value of 511, presumably due
to this comment
/* Linux, Solaris, and NetBSD treat negative value as 0. */
On Linux (at least since 2.4), this is wrong, Linux treats -1 (and so
on) as use the OS's default (net.core.somaxconn). See this code in
net/socket.c::__sys_listen()
if ((unsigned int)backlog > somaxconn)
backlog = somaxconn;
On Linux prior to 5.4 somaxconn defaulted to 128, since 5.4 it defaults
to 4096.
We've had complaints that a listen backlog of 511 is too small. This
would help in those cases.
Unless they are on an old Kernel, in which case it's worse, but then the
plan is to also make this configurable. This would effect RHEL 8, which
is based on 4.10, however they seem to set somaxconn to 2048, so that's
fine.
Another advantage of using -1 is that we will automatically keep up to
date with the kernels default value.
