[PATCH 1/2] Update description of net.sctp.sctp_rmem and net.sctp.sctp_wmem tunables

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



sctp does not use second and third ("default" and "max") values
of sctp_(r|w)mem tunables. The format is the same and tcp_(r|w)mem
but the meaning is different so make the documentation explicit to
avoid confusion.
