@@ -31,12 +31,12 @@ Memory scanning parameters can be modified at run-time by writing to the
 /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak file. The following parameters are supported:
 
   off           - disable kmemleak (irreversible)
-  stack=on      - enable the task stacks scanning
+  stack=on      - enable the task stacks scanning (default)
   stack=off     - disable the tasks stacks scanning
-  scan=on       - start the automatic memory scanning thread
+  scan=on       - start the automatic memory scanning thread (default)
   scan=off      - stop the automatic memory scanning thread
-  scan=<secs>   - set the automatic memory scanning period in seconds (0
-                  to disable it)
+  scan=<secs>   - set the automatic memory scanning period in seconds
+                  (default 600, 0 to stop the automatic scanning)
 
 Kmemleak can also be disabled at boot-time by passing "kmemleak=off" on
 the kernel command line.
