| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The WDOG_HW_RUNNING flag is expected to be set by watchdog drivers if the hardware watchdog is running. If the flag is set, the watchdog subsystem will ping the watchdog even if the watchdog device is closed. The watchdog driver stop function is now optional and may be omitted if the watchdog can not be stopped. If stopping the watchdog is not possible but the driver implements a stop function, it is responsible to set the WDOG_HW_RUNNING flag in its stop function.

| * watchdog: Introduce hardware maximum heartbeat in watchdog coreGuenter Roeck2016-03-161-2/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce an optional hardware maximum heartbeat in the watchdog core. The hardware maximum heartbeat can be lower than the maximum timeout. Drivers can set the maximum hardware heartbeat value in the watchdog data structure. If the configured timeout exceeds the maximum hardware heartbeat, the watchdog core enables a timer function to assist sending keepalive requests to the watchdog driver.

| * watchdog: Make set_timeout function optionalGuenter Roeck2016-03-161-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For some watchdogs, the watchdog driver handles timeout changes without explicitly setting any registers. In this situation, the watchdog driver might only set the 'timeout' variable but do nothing else. This can as well be handled by the infrastructure, so make the set_timeout callback optional. If WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT is configured but the .set_timeout callback is not available, update the timeout variable in the infrastructure code.

* watchdog: Add support for creating driver specific sysfs attributesGuenter Roeck2016-01-111-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Zodiac watchdog driver attaches additional sysfs attributes to the watchdog device. This has a number of problems: The watchdog device lifetime differs from the driver lifetime, and the device structure should therefore not be accessed from drivers. Also, creating sysfs attributes after driver registration results in a potential race condition if user space expects the attributes to exist but they don't exist yet. Add support for creating driver specific sysfs attributes to the watchdog core to solve the problems.

* watchdog: Separate and maintain variables based on variable lifetimeGuenter Roeck2015-12-291-38/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All variables required by the watchdog core to manage a watchdog are currently stored in struct watchdog_device. The lifetime of those variables is determined by the watchdog driver. However, the lifetime of variables used by the watchdog core differs from the lifetime of struct watchdog_device. To remedy this situation, watchdog drivers can implement ref and unref callbacks, to be used by the watchdog core to lock struct watchdog_device in memory. While this solves the immediate problem, it depends on watchdog drivers to actually implement the ref/unref callbacks. This is error prone, often not implemented in the first place, or not implemented correctly. To solve the problem without requiring driver support, split the variables in struct watchdog_device into two data structures - one for variables associated with the watchdog driver, one for variables associated with the watchdog core. With this approach, the watchdog core can keep track of its variable lifetime and no longer depends on ref/unref callbacks in the driver. As a side effect, some of the variables originally in struct watchdog_driver are now private to the watchdog core and no longer visible in watchdog drivers. As a side effect of the changes made, an ioctl will now always fail with -ENODEV after a watchdog device was unregistered with the character device still open. Previously, it would only fail with -ENODEV in some situations. Also, ioctl operations are now atomic from driver perspective. With this change, it is now guaranteed that the driver will not unregister a watchdog between a timeout change and the subsequent ping. The 'ref' and 'unref' callbacks in struct watchdog_driver are no longer used and marked as deprecated.

* watchdog: core: add reboot notifier supportDamien Riegel2015-12-131-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many watchdog drivers register a reboot notifier in order to stop the watchdog on system reboot. Thus we can factorize this code in the watchdog core. For that purpose, a new notifier block is added in watchdog_device for internal use only, as well as a new watchdog_stop_on_reboot helper function. If this helper is called, watchdog core registers the related notifier block and will stop the watchdog when SYS_HALT or SYS_DOWN is received. Since this operation can be critical on some platforms, abort the device registration if the reboot notifier registration fails.

* watchdog: it87_wdt: Work around non-working CIR interruptsMarc van der Wal2014-03-311-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some hardware platforms, the it87_wdt watchdog resets the machine despite the watchdog daemon running and writing to /dev/watchdog. This is due to Consumer IR buffer underrun interrupts being used as triggers to reset the timer. On some buggy hardware implementations such as the iEi AFL-12A-N270 single-board computer, this method does not work. However, resetting the timer by writing its original timeout value in its configuration register over and over again suppresses the unwanted reboots. Add a module option (nocir), 0 by default in order not to break existing setups. Setting it to 1 enables the workaround. Fixes bug #42801 <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42801>. Tested primarily on Linux 3.5.7, applies cleanly on Linux 3.13.5.

* watchdog: delete mpcore_wdt driverViresh Kumar2013-07-111-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Interrupt request doesn't use the right API: The TWD watchdog uses a per-cpu interrupt (usually interrupt #30), and the GIC configuration should flag it as such. With this setup, request_irq() should fail, and the right API is request_percpu_irq(), together with enable_percpu_irq()/disable_percpu_irq(). Nothing ensures the userspace ioctl() will end-up kicking the watchdog on the right CPU. There are no users of this driver since a long time and it makes more sense to get rid of it as nobody is looking to fix it.

* watchdog: Add support for dynamically allocated watchdog_device structsHans de Goede2012-05-301-1/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a driver's watchdog_device struct is part of a dynamically allocated struct (which it often will be), merely locking the module is not enough, even with a drivers module locked, the driver can be unbound from the device, examples: 1) The root user can unbind it through sysfd 2) The i2c bus master driver being unloaded for an i2c watchdog I will gladly admit that these are corner cases, but we still need to handle them correctly. The fix for this consists of 2 parts: 1) Add ref / unref operations, so that the driver can refcount the struct holding the watchdog_device struct and delay freeing it until any open filehandles referring to it are closed 2) Most driver operations will do IO on the device and the driver should not do any IO on the device after it has been unbound. Rather then letting each driver deal with this internally, it is better to ensure at the watchdog core level that no operations (other then unref) will get called after the driver has called watchdog_unregister_device().

* watchdog: WatchDog Timer Driver Core - Add ioctl callWim Van Sebroeck2011-07-281-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for extra ioctl calls by adding a ioctl watchdog operation. This operation will be called before we do our own handling of ioctl commands. This way we can override the internal ioctl command handling and we can also add extra ioctl commands. The ioctl watchdog operation should return the appropriate error codes or -ENOIOCTLCMD if the ioctl command should be handled through the internal ioctl handling of the framework.
