Watchdog thread activity

Hi,

I am running Linux along with image processing on my system.
Most watchdogs i have seen previously, has a 30 second/60 second
timer. The watchdog we have used currently has a fixed timeout value
of 1.6 seconds.

I wanted to check if Linux can pet the watchdog say every 1 second.
Won't it over-load the system if i used mod_timer/workqueue?

However, I think, Some activity in the system might cause false-resets
due to the cpu being busy in other tasks.

Therefore, i wanted to check what is the safe minimum duration which
will avoid false-resets.

Thanks,
sriram
