2017-02-24watchdog: Introduce watchdog_stop_on_unregister helperGuenter Roeck1-0/+5
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 converts watchdog device attribute "pretimeout_governor" from read-only to read-write type to allow users to select a desirable watchdog pretimeout governor in runtime, e.g. % echo -n panic > /sys/..../watchdog/watchdog0/pretimeout To get this working a list of registered pretimeout governors is created and a new helper function watchdog_pretimeout_governor_set() is exported to watchdog_dev.c. If a selected governor is gone, a watchdog device pretimeout notification is delegated to a default built-in pretimeout governor.

2016-10-08watchdog: add watchdog pretimeout governor frameworkVladimir Zapolskiy1-0/+23
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. A user selects a default watchdog pretimeout governor during compilation stage. 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.

2016-07-25watchdog: core: Clear WDOG_HW_RUNNING before calling the stop functionGuenter Roeck1-2/+4
WDOG_HW_RUNNING indicates that the hardware watchdog is running while the watchdog device is closed. The flag may be set by the driver when it is instantiated to indicate that the watchdog is running, and that the watchdog core needs to send heartbeat requests to the driver until the watchdog device is opened. When the watchdog device is closed, the flag can be used by the driver's stop function to indicate to the watchdog core that it was unable to stop the watchdog, and that the watchdog core needs to send heartbeat requests. This only works if the flag is actually cleared when the watchdog is stopped. To avoid having to clear the flag in each driver's stop function, clear it in the watchdog core before calling the stop function.

2016-07-19watchdog: Implement status function in watchdog coreGuenter Roeck1-7/+27
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.

2016-07-17watchdog: change watchdog_need_worker logicRasmus Villemoes1-3/+7
If the driver indicates that the watchdog is running, the framework should feed it until userspace opens the device, regardless of whether the driver has set max_hw_heartbeat_ms. This patch only affects the case where wdd->max_hw_heartbeat_ms is zero, wdd->timeout is non-zero, the watchdog is not active and the hardware device is running (*): - If wdd->timeout is zero, watchdog_need_worker() returns false both before and after this patch, and watchdog_next_keepalive() is not called. - If watchdog_active(wdd), the return value from watchdog_need_worker is also the same as before (namely, hm && t > hm). Hence in that case, watchdog_next_keepalive() is only called if hm == max_hw_heartbeat_ms is non-zero, so the change to min_not_zero there is a no-op. - If the watchdog is not active and the device is not running, we return false from watchdog_need_worker just as before. That leaves the watchdog_hw_running(wdd) && !watchdog_active(wdd) && wdd->timeout case. Again, it's easy to see that if wdd->max_hw_heartbeat_ms is non-zero, we return true from watchdog_need_worker with and without this patch, and the logic in watchdog_next_keepalive is unchanged. Finally, if wdd->max_hw_heartbeat_ms is 0, we used to end up in the cancel_delayed_work branch, whereas with this patch we end up scheduling a ping timeout_ms/2 from now. (*) This should imply that no current kernel drivers are affected, since the only drivers which explicitly set WDOG_HW_RUNNING are imx2_wdt.c and dw_wdt.c, both of which also provide a non-zero value for max_hw_heartbeat_ms. The watchdog core also sets WDOG_HW_RUNNING, but only when the driver doesn't provide ->stop, in which case it must, according to Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-kernel-api.txt, set max_hw_heartbeat_ms.

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.

2015-12-29watchdog: Separate and maintain variables based on variable lifetimeGuenter Roeck1-180/+203
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.

A race condition exists when registering the first watchdog device. Sequence of events: - watchdog_register_device calls watchdog_dev_register - watchdog_dev_register creates the watchdog misc device by calling misc_register. At that time, the matching character device (/dev/watchdog0) does not yet exist, and old_wdd is not set either. - Userspace gets an event and opens /dev/watchdog - watchdog_open is called and sets wdd = old_wdd, which is still NULL, and tries to dereference it. This causes the kernel to panic. Seen with systemd trying to open /dev/watchdog immediately after it was created.

2012-05-30watchdog: Add support for dynamically allocated watchdog_device structsHans de Goede1-1/+54
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().

2012-05-30watchdog: Add watchdog_active() routineViresh Kumar1-3/+3
Some watchdog may need to check if watchdog is ACTIVE or not, for example in their suspend/resume hooks. This patch adds this routine and changes the core drivers to use it. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@st.com> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
2012-05-30watchdog: watchdog_dev: include private header to pickup global symbol prototypesH Hartley Sweeten1-0/+2
Include the private watchdog_dev.h header to pickup the prototypes for the watchdog_dev_register/unregister functions. This quiets the following sparse warnings: warning: symbol 'watchdog_dev_register' was not declared. Should it be static? warning: symbol 'watchdog_dev_unregister' was not declared.

2012-03-27watchdog: Add support for WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT IOCTL in watchdog coreViresh Kumar1-0/+5
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.

2012-03-27watchdog: watchdog_dev: Let the driver update the timeout field on set_timeout successHans de Goede1-1/+0
When a set_timeout operation succeeds this does not necessarily mean that the exact timeout requested has been achieved, because the watchdog does not necessarily have a 1 second resolution. So rather then have the core set the timeout member of the watchdog_device struct to the exact requested value, instead the driver should set it to the actually achieved timeout value.

Add min_timeout (minimum timeout) and max_timeout values so that the framework can check if the new timeout value is between the minimum and maximum timeout values. If both values are 0, then the framework will leave the check for the watchdog device driver itself.

2011-07-28watchdog: WatchDog Timer Driver Core - Add ioctl callWim Van Sebroeck1-0/+6
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.

2011-07-28watchdog: WatchDog Timer Driver Core - Add basic frameworkWim Van Sebroeck1-0/+235
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.
