Best practice when probe fails on armed watchdog?

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

 



Hi!

What is the right thing to do when a watchdog device that has been armed by the bootloader fails to probe? Should the driver

- disable the device and thus save the system from being torn down by a potentially malfunctioning watchdog, at the risk of missing issues further down the line, or
- leave it as is (even though that would most likely result in a reset), hoping that the error is either transient or that there is a mechanism in place outside the kernel that will resolve it?

Is there a best practice for this case?
