Hi All, To reduce copying the same code over and over in each watchdog device driver, Alan Cox and myself constructed a new framework/API that consolidates the common watchdog timer driver functions. This framework/API consists of the following patches: part 1: Introduction of the WatchDog Timer Driver Core part 2: Add the basic ioctl functionality part 3: Add the WDIOC_KEEPALIVE ioctl part 4: Add the WDIOC_SETOPTIONS ioctl part 5: Add the WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT and WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT ioctl part 6: Add orphan control part 7: Add the Magic Close feature part 8: Add the nowayout feature part 9: Add support for a miscdev parent device part 10: Add support for extra ioctl calls Note: I still need to add the minimum and maximum timeout parameters. (That will become part 11).
Overall, this looks really good IMO. It goes a long way to setting the stage for cleaning up the watchdog drivers themselves :)
