From: Jan "Yenya" Kasprzak Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2006 08:33:50 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [NET]: Terminology in ip-sysctl.txt X-Git-Tag: v2.6.18-rc5~76^2~11 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fb33f82568d32016b3b3c00819574f9526e52be3;p=linux-2.6 [NET]: Terminology in ip-sysctl.txt this minor patch fixes the description of net.ipv4.tcp_mem sysctl in ip-sysctl.txt - the headline names the values "min, pressure, max", while the description uses the "low, pressure, high" values. Both tcp_rmem and tcp_wmem descriptions use the "min, pressure, max" values, so I have changed the tcp_mem to match this and not vice versa.
