* watchdog: Introduce watchdog_stop_on_unregister helperGuenter Roeck2017-02-241-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | Many watchdog drivers explicitly stop the watchdog when unregistering it. While it is unclear if this is actually needed (the whatdog should not be running at that time if it can be stopped), introduce a helper to explicitly stop the watchdog in the watchdog core when unregistering it. This helps reducing driver code size while retaining functionality. Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The change adds a simple watchdog pretimeout framework infrastructure, its purpose is to allow users to select a desired handling of watchdog pretimeout events, which may be generated by some watchdog devices.

Watchdogs with WDIOF_PRETIMEOUT capability now have one more device attribute in sysfs, pretimeout_governor attribute is intended to display the selected watchdog pretimeout governor. The framework has no impact at runtime on watchdog devices with no WDIOF_PRETIMEOUT capability set.

* watchdog: Implement status function in watchdog coreGuenter Roeck2016-07-191-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up to now, the watchdog status function called a driver function, which was supposed to return the watchdog status. All but one driver using the watchdog core did not implement this function, and the driver implementing it did not implement it correctly (the function is supposed to return WDIOF_ flags). At the same time, at least some of the status information can be provided by the watchdog core. Provide the available status bits directly from the watchdog driver core. Call the driver status function if it exists to get the boot status, but always provide WDIOF_MAGICCLOSE and WDIOF_KEEPALIVEPING internally. This patch makes the 'status' sysfs attribute always available. This attribute is now displayed as hex number with 0x prepended to be easier to decode.

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.

* 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>.

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. In case somebody wakes up after this has been removed and needs it, please revert this driver and pick these updates (These were never pushed to mainline): http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/245998 Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Acked-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
* watchdog: core: dt: add support for the timeout-sec dt propertyFabio Porcedda2013-03-011-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for watchdog drivers to initialize/set the timeout field of the watchdog_device structure. The timeout field is initialised either with the module timeout parameter value (if valid) or with the timeout-sec dt property (if valid). If both are invalid the initial value is unchanged.

* 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(). This actually is the bulk of this patch. Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
* watchdog: Add Locking supportHans de Goede2012-05-301-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes some potential multithreading issues, despite only allowing one process to open the /dev/watchdog device, we can still get called multiple times at the same time, since a program could be using thread, or could share the fd after a fork. This causes 2 potential problems: 1) watchdog_start / open do an unlocked test_n_set / test_n_clear, if these 2 race, the watchdog could be stopped while the active bit indicates it is running or visa versa. 2) Most watchdog_dev drivers probably assume that only one watchdog-op will get called at a time, this is not necessary true atm.

| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT IOCTL in watchdog core. So, there is another function pointer added to struct watchdog_ops, which can be passed by drivers to support this IOCTL. Related documentation is updated too.
