Subject: [PATCH] net-tcp: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_probe_interval is a u32 not int

From: Maciej Żenczykowski <maze@...gle.com>

(fix documentation and sysctl access to treat it as such)

Tested:
  # zcat /proc/config.gz | egrep ^CONFIG_HZ
  CONFIG_HZ_1000=y
  CONFIG_HZ=1000
  # echo $[(1<<32)/1000 + 1] | tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_probe_interval
  4294968
  tee: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_probe_interval: Invalid argument
  # echo $[(1<<32)/1000] | tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_probe_interval
  4294967
  # echo 0 | tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_probe_interval
  # echo -1 | tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_probe_interval
  -1
  tee: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_probe_interval: Invalid argument
