Description:
When the innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct threshold is crossed, InnoDB can begin aggressively flushing pages to disk. The innodb_adaptive_flushing_lwm option specifies a higher value at which InnoDB begins gently flushing pages, ideally preventing the percentage of dirty pages from reaching innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct. A value of innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=0 disables this “preflushing” behavior.

the innodb_adaptive_flushing_lwm here should be innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm?

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:

Changing of the wording of some of the start-up variables is a double edged sword. Because, variable's name can't be changed. You can only add yet another variable that would do the same thing, because we can not expect from our users and customers to change their configuration files. Furthermore, as much as it could be announced, majority of installations would one day refuse to start, due to a change in variable name.

I am setting this bug in "To be fixed later", because we might review one day several variables.

If I'm not mistaken, the bug report is about the documentation, not about the server.   The offending sentence is from this page:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/innodb-performance.html

Changed the name of the variable in this usage text, as requested.
