If the RTI watchdog has been started by someone (like bootloader) when
the driver probes, we must adjust the initial ping timeout to match the
currently running watchdog window to avoid generating watchdog reset.

This assumes that the bootloader also programmed a 50% window, right?
The pending U-Boot patch will do that, but what if that may chance or
someone uses a different setup?

Yes, we assume 50%. I think based on the hw design, 50% is the only sane
value to be used, otherwise you just shrink the open window too much and
for no apparent reason.

Fine with me, but should we check that assumption when adopting the
watchdog?

Not sure if that is a valid assumption. Someone who designs a watchdog
with such a narrow ping window might as well also use it. The question
is if you want to rely on that assumption, or check and change it if needed.
Also, I wonder if we should add an API function such as
"set_last_hw_keepalive()" to avoid all that complexity.

Right, if that is a blocker, I can modify the code. Should be maybe
couple of lines addition.

I can try adding that also if it is desirable.

But wait, the code doesn't really match what the description of this
patch claims, or at least the description is misleading. Per the
description, this is to prevent an early timeout. However, the problem
here is that the watchdog core does not generate a ping, even if
requested, because it believes that it just generated one right before
the watchdog timer was registered, and that it can not generate another
one because min_hw_heartbeat_ms has not elapsed.
With that in mind, the problem is a bit more complex.
First, the driver doesn't really update the current timeout to the
value that is currently configured and enabled. Instead, it just
uses/assumes the default (DEFAULT_HEARTBEAT or whatever the heartbeat
module parameter is set to). This means that it is still possible for
an early timeout to occur if there is a mismatch between the bootloader
timeout and the timeout assumed by the driver. Worse, the timeout
is only updated in the start function - and the start function isn't
called if the watchdog is already running. Actually, the driver does
not support updating the timeout at all. This means that a mismatch
between the bootloader timeout and the timeout assumed by the driver
is not handled well.
To solve this, the driver would have to update the actual timeout to
whatever is programmed into the chip and ignore any module parameter
and default settings if the watchdog is already running. Alternatively,
it would have to support updating the timeout (if the hardware supports
that) after the watchdog was started.
Second, handling min_hw_heartbeat_ms properly should really be implemented
in the watchdog core. Instead of assuming that the most recent keepalive
happened "just before now", as it currently does, it should call the
timeleft function (if available and if the watchdog is running) and
calculate the most recent keepalive (and thus the earliest acceptable
next keepalive) from its return value.

You are right. Maybe the patch description could use some more beef into it.

Hardware supports changing the timeout value, however it only updates
this during the next window (preload values are picked once user pings
the watchdog.)

Yes, it all becomes bit complex if we let the bootloader configure the
values freely. Current bootloader implementation does not do this, as it
is mostly a copy of the kernel driver.
However, I can modify the kernel driver to take all this into account,
even if the code becomes a bit more complex due to this.

The current driver doesn't support or use that, though, since the start
function is only called once to start the watchdog, and not at all if
the watchdog is already running. So, if the bootloader sets the timeout
to X, and the user sets a timeout of, say, X * 4, userspace will never
ping the watchdog often enough. The driver will have to address that
to support already-running watchdogs.

Yeah, I will modify that. I think I will just prevent changing the
timeout if watchdog has been enabled from boot, it is probably cleanest
approach. Unless I happen to come up with some sane way to change it on fly.
