Subject: [PATCH] docs: admin-guide: fix printk_ratelimit explanation
Date: Wed,  2 Oct 2019 13:46:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191002114610.5773-1-oleksandr@redhat.com> (raw)

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.
