 This control is used to define how aggressive the kernel will swap
-memory pages.  Higher values will increase agressiveness, lower values
+memory pages.  Higher values will increase aggressiveness, lower values
 decrease the amount of swap.  A value of 0 instructs the kernel not to
 initiate swap until the amount of free and file-backed pages is less
 than the high water mark in a zone.

Fixes a spelling in documentation.

Hi,

The spelling correction is good, but the format of the patch is almost
upside down. The patch description should be first, then the Signed-off-by:
line, and then the patch is last.

And then you need to send it to someone specific who can merge it.
This one should probably be sent: Jiri Kosina <trivial@kernel.org>
(unless he wants to take it now).

with a Subject line of something like:
[PATCH trivial] Fix a typo in Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt

Thanks,
