2016-01-11watchdog: Drop pointer to watchdog device from struct watchdog_deviceGuenter Roeck
The lifetime of the watchdog device pointer is different from the lifetime of its character device. Remove it entirely to avoid race conditions. Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
2015-12-29watchdog: Separate and maintain variables based on variable lifetimeGuenter Roeck
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.

2015-12-29watchdog: Create watchdog device in watchdog_dev.cGuenter Roeck
The watchdog character device is currently created in watchdog_dev.c, and the watchdog device in watchdog_core.c. This results in cross-dependencies, since device creation needs to know the watchdog character device number as well as the watchdog class, both of which reside in watchdog_dev.c. Create the watchdog device in watchdog_dev.c to simplify the code. Inspired by earlier patch set from Damien Riegel.

2015-12-27watchdog: Read device status through sysfs attributesPratyush Anand
This patch adds following attributes to watchdog device's sysfs interface to read its different status. * state - reads whether device is active or not * identity - reads Watchdog device's identity string. * timeout - reads current timeout. * timeleft - reads timeleft before watchdog generates a reset * bootstatus - reads status of the watchdog device at boot * status - reads watchdog device's internal status bits * nowayout - reads whether nowayout feature was set or not Testing with iTCO_wdt: # cd /sys/class/watchdog/watchdog1/ # ls bootstatus dev device identity nowayout power state subsystem timeleft timeout uevent # cat identity iTCO_wdt # cat timeout 30 # cat state inactive # echo > /dev/watchdog1 # cat timeleft 26 # cat state active # cat bootstatus 0 # cat nowayout 0 Signed-off-by: Pratyush Anand <panand@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
2015-12-27watchdog: Use static struct class watchdog_class in stead of pointerPratyush Anand
We need few sysfs attributes to know different status of a watchdog device. To do that, we need to associate .dev_groups with watchdog_class. So convert it from pointer to static. Putting this static struct in watchdog_dev.c, so that static device attributes defined in that file can be attached to it.

2015-12-13watchdog: core: add reboot notifier supportDamien Riegel
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.

2015-12-13watchdog: core: add restart handler supportDamien Riegel
Many watchdog drivers implement the same code to register a restart handler. This patch provides a generic way to set such a function. The patch adds a new restart watchdog operation. If a restart priority greater than 0 is needed, the driver can call watchdog_set_restart_priority to set it.

2015-10-27watchdog: watchdog_dev: Use device tree alias for naming watchdogsJustin Chen
Currently there is no way to easily differentiate multiple watchdog devices. The watchdogs are named by the order they are probed. 1st probed watchdog: /dev/watchdog0 2nd probed watchdog: /dev/watchdog1 ... This change uses the alias of the watchdog device node for the name of the watchdog. aliases { watchdog0 = "/...../...." watchdog3 = "/..../....." watchdog2 = "/..../....." ... } This will translate to... /dev/watchdog0 /dev/watchdog3 /dev/watchdog2 v2 Assign alias number to id in watchdog_core instead of watchdog_dev. If failed to get id, fallback to original ida_simple_get call.

2015-06-29watchdog: watchdog_core: Add watchdog registration deferral mechanismJean-Baptiste Theou
Currently, watchdog subsystem require the misc subsystem to register a watchdog. This may not be the case in case of an early registration of a watchdog, which can be required when the watchdog cannot be disabled. This patch introduces a deferral mechanism to remove this requirement.

2014-01-28watchdog: core: Make dt "timeout-sec" property work on drivers w/out min/maxDoug Anderson
It is valid for a watchdog driver to have 0 for a "min" and "max" timeout if the driver doesn't need the core to enforce the concepts of min and max. The s3c2410_wdt driver is one such driver. Specifically it can be hard for that driver to come up with a static "max" on all platforms without a lot more information since the input clock on S3C2410 and S3C2440 can change with DVFS. As written, watchdog_init_timeout() will not ever read "timeout-sec" on these drivers since watchdog_timeout_invalid() will _never_ return true. Change to not consider a timeout_parm of 0 as valid even if min/max aren't specified by the driver. Also handle the case when there is no min/max and no "timeout-sec" property.

2012-05-30watchdog: Add Locking supportHans de Goede
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.

2011-07-28watchdog: WatchDog Timer Driver Core - Add basic frameworkWim Van Sebroeck
The WatchDog Timer Driver Core is a framework that contains the common code for all watchdog-driver's. It also introduces a watchdog device structure and the operations that go with it. This is the introduction of this framework. This part supports the minimal watchdog userspace API (or with other words: the functionality to use /dev/watchdog's open, release and write functionality as defined in the simplest watchdog API). Extra functionality will follow in the next set of patches.
