Hi Toshi, > kdump can be interrupted by watchdog timer when the timer is left > activated on the crash kernel. Changed the hpwdt driver to disable > watchdog timer at boot-time. This assures that watchdog timer is > disabled until /dev/watchdog is opened, and prevents watchdog timer > to be left running on the crash kernel. > > Signed-off-by: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@xxxxxx> > Tested-by: Lisa Mitchell <lisa.mitchell@xxxxxx> > Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > --- > drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c | 3 +++ > 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c b/drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c > index 1eff743..ae60406 100644 > --- a/drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c > +++ b/drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c > @@ -814,6 +814,9 @@ static int __devinit hpwdt_init_one(struct pci_dev *dev, > hpwdt_timer_reg = pci_mem_addr + 0x70; > hpwdt_timer_con = pci_mem_addr + 0x72; > > + /* Make sure that timer is disabled until /dev/watchdog is opened */ > + hpwdt_stop(); > + > /* Make sure that we have a valid soft_margin */ > if (hpwdt_change_timer(soft_margin)) > hpwdt_change_timer(DEFAULT_MARGIN); Added to linux-watchdog-next .
