2012-03-27watchdog: softdog: convert to watchdog coreAlan Cox
Convert softdog.c to the new watchdog API. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
2012-03-27watchdog: nowayout is boolWim Van Sebroeck
nowayout is actually a boolean value. So make it bool for all watchdog device drivers. Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
2012-03-27watchdog: Use pr_<fmt> and pr_<level>Joe Perches
Use the current logging styles. Make sure all output has a prefix. Add missing newlines. Remove now unnecessary PFX, NAME, and miscellaneous other #defines. Coalesce formats. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
2011-03-29watchdog: softdog.c: enhancement to optionally invoke panic instead of ↵Anithra P Janakiraman
reboot on timer expiry This is needed for determining the reason for failure when a softdog timeout occurs. We use softdog to watch for critical application failures and at the minimum a snapshot of the system would help to determine the cause. In such a scenario the application could fail but there isn't a softlockup as such, hence the detect softlockup feature does not help. The patch adds a module parameter soft_panic which when set to 1 causes softdog to invoke panic instead of reboot when the softdog timer expires. By invoking panic we execute kdump if it is configured and the vmcore generated by kdump should provide atleast a minimal idea of the reason for failure.

2008-08-06[WATCHDOG] Coding style - Indentation - part 2Wim Van Sebroeck
This brings the watchdog drivers into line with coding style. This patch takes cares of the indentation as described in chapter 1. Main changes: * Re-structure the ioctl switch call for all drivers as follows: switch (cmd) { case WDIOC_GETSUPPORT: case WDIOC_GETSTATUS: case WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS: case WDIOC_GETTEMP: case WDIOC_SETOPTIONS: case WDIOC_KEEPALIVE: case WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT: case WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT: case WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT: default: } This to make the migration from the drivers to the uniform watchdog device driver easier in the future.
