If a softnet backlog is full, it will silently drop packets without any
logged indication of it happening. The second column of
/proc/net/softnet_stats will increment on a per-CPU basis. This
functionality simply sums these values. The threshold has been
configured as 0 because any value for these indicates that the kernel
must be tuned accordingly.
