hardware watchdog reset during LKCD

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

 



Hi All,

I try LKCD and it was working fine but when hardware watchdog is
enabled, it reset the system in the middle of crash dump.  This hardware
watchdog only allow a maximum of 60 seconds otherwise I will increase
the timeout.


I could modify the LKCD to stop the hardware watchdog but that may not a
good solution since there are so many types of hardware or even software
watchdog.  

Is there a way to notify a user daemon process to stop the hardware
watchdog?  I noticed the panic.c called notifier_call_chain(). How does
it work? Any hints or pointers?


Or is there a simple way to handle the watchdog reset problem?
Thanks.

- Tony
