We can not panic the system after timeout / 2. OK, my thought is if panic is enabled : |--------WOR-------WS0--------WOR-------WS1 |------timeout------(panic)------timeout-----reset if panic is disabled . |--------WOR-------WS0--------WOR-------WS1 |---------------------timeout---------------------reset panic_enabled only can be configured when module is loaded by module parameter But user should know that max_timeout(panic_enable) = max_timeout(panic_disable) / 2 > > I am not too happy with the parameter name (panic_enabled). How about > "action", to match machzwd ? yes, makes sense. Maybe we can do something like this: /* * action refers to action taken when watchdog gets WS0 * 0 = SKIP * 1 = PANIC * defaults to SKIP (0) */ static int action; module_param(action, int, 0); MODULE_PARM_DESC(action, "after watchdog gets WS0 interrupt, do: " "0 = SKIP(*) 1 = PANIC"); > > Thanks, > Guenter > -- Best regards, Fu Wei Software Engineer Red Hat Software (Beijing) Co.,Ltd.Shanghai Branch Ph: +86 21 61221326(direct) Ph: +86 186 2020 4684 (mobile) Room 1512, Regus One Corporate Avenue,Level 15, One Corporate Avenue,222 Hubin Road,Huangpu District, Shanghai,China 200021 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
