The printk_ratelimit value accepts seconds, not jiffies (though it is converted into jiffies internally). Update documentation to reflect this. Also, remove the statement about allowing 1 message in 5 seconds since bursts up to 10 messages are allowed by default. Finally, while we are here, mention default value for printk_ratelimit_burst too. Signed-off-by: Oleksandr Natalenko <oleksandr@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
