Message-ID: <alpine.LNX.2.00.1402092328270.8418@swampdragon.chaosbits.net> Date: Sun, 9 Feb 2014 23:30:32 +0100 (CET) From: Jesper Juhl <jj@...osbits.net> To: "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net> cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, trivial@...nel.org Subject: [PATCH][Trivial] tcp: correct code comment stating 3 min timeout for FIN_WAIT2, we only do 1 min As far as I can tell we have used a default of 60 seconds for FIN_WAIT2 timeout for ages (since 2.x times??). In any case, the timeout these days is 60 seconds, so the 3 min comment is wrong (and cost me a few minutes of my life when I was debugging a FIN_WAIT2 related problem in a userspace application and checked the kernel source for details).
