[PATCH 08/12] watchdog: Add the ability to set the action of a timeout

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Corey Minyard <cminyard@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add a way to tell the watchdog what to do on a timeout and on
a pretimeout.  This is to support the IPMI watchdog's ability
to do this.

+Actions
+=======
+
+Some watchdog timers can perform different actions when they time out.
+Most will only reset.  The values are::
+
+    WDIOA_RESET - Reset the system
+    WDIOA_POWER_OFF - Power off the system
+    WDIOA_POWER_CYCLE - Power off the system then power it back on
+
+The value can be set::
+
+    ioctl(fd, WDIOC_SETACTION, &action);
+
+and queried::

 Not all watchdog drivers will support a pretimeout.
 
+Preactions
+==========
+
+Like actions some watchdog timers can perform different actions when
+they pretimeout.  The values are::
+
+    WDIOP_NONE - Don't do anything on a pretimeout
+    WDIOP_NMI - Issue an NMI
+    WDIOP_SMI - Issue a system management interrupt
+    WDIOP_INTERRUPT - Issue a normal interrupt
+
+The value can be set::
+
+    ioctl(fd, WDIOC_SETPREACTION, &preaction);
+
+and queried::
+
+    ioctl(fd, WDIOC_GETPREACTION, &preaction);
+
+Note that the pretimeout governor that reads data is not compatible with
+the NMI preaction.  The NMI preaction can only do nothing or panic.
+
 Get the number of seconds before reboot
