Subject: [PATCH 1/4] IPVS: Add documentation for new sysctl entries
Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2011 10:23:50 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1317000233-11169-2-git-send-email-horms@verge.net.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1317000233-11169-1-git-send-email-horms@verge.net.au>

Add missing documentation for conntrack, snat_reroute and sync_version.

Also fix up a typo, IPVS_DEBUG should be IP_VS_DEBUG.
