The hardware maximum timeout can be lower than the maximum timeout. Drivers can set the maximum hardware timeout value in the watchdog data structure. If the configured timeout exceeds the maximum hardware timeout, the watchdog core enables a timer function to assist sending keepalive requests to the watchdog driver. Cc: Timo Kokkonen Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck --- v5: - Rebased to v4.4-rc1 v4: - Improved and fixed documentation - Split hw_timeout_ms variable to timeout_ms, hw_timeout_ms for clarity - Dropped redundant comments - Added comments explaining failure conditions in watchdog_timeout_invalid(). - Moved the call to watchdog_update_worker() into _watchdog_ping(). v3: - Reworked and cleaned up some of the functions. - No longer call the worker update function if all that is needed is to stop the worker. - max_timeout will now be ignored if max_hw_timeout_ms is provided. v2: - Improved and hopefully clarified documentation. - Rearranged variables in struct watchdog_device such that internal variables come last. - The code now ensures that the watchdog times out seconds after the most recent keepalive sent from user space. - The internal keepalive now stops silently and no longer generates a warning message. Reason is that it will now stop early, while there may still be a substantial amount of time for keepalives from user space to arrive. If such keepalives arrive late (for example if user space is configured to send keepalives just a few seconds before the watchdog times out), the message would just be noise and not provide any value. --- Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-kernel-api.txt | 28 ++++- drivers/watchdog/watchdog_dev.c | 135 ++++++++++++++++++++++--- include/linux/watchdog.h | 40 ++++++-- 3 files changed, 173 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-kernel-api.txt b/Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-kernel-api.txt index d8b0d3367706..f66859117d1f 100644 --- a/Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-kernel-api.txt +++ b/Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-kernel-api.txt @@ -53,9 +53,12 @@ struct watchdog_device { unsigned int timeout; unsigned int min_timeout; unsigned int max_timeout; + unsigned int max_hw_timeout_ms; void *driver_data; - struct mutex lock; unsigned long status; + struct mutex lock; + unsigned long last_keepalive; + struct delayed_work work; struct list_head deferred; }; @@ -73,18 +76,31 @@ It contains following fields: additional information about the watchdog timer itself.
