[PATCH net-next] tcp: Remove tcp_low_latency sysctl.

flat view
STALE3234d

From: Tonghao Zhang <hidden>
Date: 2017-12-12 14:43:12
Subsystem: documentation, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

The prequeue has been removed from the kernel. If we leave
the tcp_low_latency in kernel, it may confuse the users.
If users can't find the option, the doc may tell them why.
So we remove also the sysctl about tcp_low_latency.
