When such a notification * occurs, the driver will usually tell the hardware watchdog * that everything is in order, and that the watchdog should wait * for yet another little while to reset the system. * If userspace fails (RAM error, kernel bug, whatever), the * notifications cease to occur, and the hardware watchdog will * reset the system (causing a reboot) after the timeout occurs. * * This WDT driver is different from most other Linux WDT * drivers in that the driver will ping the watchdog by itself, * because this particular WDT has a very short timeout (1.6 * seconds) and it would be insane to count on any userspace * daemon always getting scheduled within that time frame. */ #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #define OUR_NAME "w83877f_wdt" #define ENABLE_W83877F_PORT 0x3F0 #define ENABLE_W83877F 0x87 #define DISABLE_W83877F 0xAA #define WDT_PING 0x443 #define WDT_REGISTER 0x14 #define WDT_ENABLE 0x9C #define WDT_DISABLE 0x8C /* * The W83877F seems to be fixed at 1.6s timeout (at least on the * EMACS PC-104 board I'm using).
