    SubjectDisambiguation for panic_timeout's sysctl


    The /proc/sys/kernel/panic file looked to me like it was something like
    /proc/sysrq-trigger -- until I looked into the kernel sources which reveal that
    it sets the variable "panic_timeout" in kernel/sched.c.
    I'm up for disambiguating this, patch appended.
