* watchdog: core: fix WDIOC_GETSTATUS return valueWim Van Sebroeck2012-06-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 7a87982420e5e126bfefeb42232d1fd92052794e we added a wrapper for the WDIOC_GETSTATUS ioctl call. The code results however in a different behaviour: it returns an error if the driver doesn't support the status operation. This is not according to the API that says that when we don't support the status operation, that we just should return a 0 value. Only when the device isn't there anymore, we should return an error.

* watchdog: Add support for dynamically allocated watchdog_device structsHans de Goede2012-05-301-1/+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(). 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/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | set_timeout success 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.

* watchdog: WatchDog Timer Driver Core - Add ioctl callWim Van Sebroeck2011-07-281-0/+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.

* watchdog: WatchDog Timer Driver Core - Add basic frameworkWim Van Sebroeck2011-07-281-0/+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.
