Relation between tcp_syncookies and tcp_max_s yn_backlog

 Hi!

 Some documentations [1] say that there is a relation between 
 tcp_syncookies and tcp_max_syn_backlog. The official documentation 
 (ip-sysctls.txt) does not say such a thing. I have also looked at 
 net/ipv4/syncookies.c and I did not find anything about this. In 
 net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4, I also understand that tcp_max_sync_backlog value is 
 only used if syncookies are disabled. Could someone confirm me that 
 those variables are unrelated?

 Thanks!
