Typo in Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt
PATCH 1/1 Typo in Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt
Hi all:
There is a small typo in Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt. It still says HZ for i386 architecture is 100, when it is no longer true. The following patch should update it to current HZ=1000 for i386.
Although the hint following the text points to the correct place to check for the correct value, HZ=100 for i386 is not correct in 2.6.x.
Greetings.

The value being spoken about, in 2.6.x terms, is actually USER_HZ which is still 100 on x86.
