Unit of the value is HZ, and the default value is the same as current SWAP_TOKEN_TIMEOUT > (i.e. HZ * 300). The patch can be applied to both 2.6.9-rc2 and 2.6.9-rc3. Please don't export any sysctls as jiffies. The values of jiffies changes. Use s or ms instead. sysctl has convenience functions for this. -Andi
