[PATCH] watchdog: New watchdog driver for MEN A21 watchdogs

[PATCH] watchdog: New watchdog driver for MEN A21 watchdogs

[johannes.thumshirn]

From: Johannes Thumshirn <johannes.thumshirn@men.de>

This patch adds the driver for the watchdog devices found on MEN Mikro
Elektronik A21 VMEbus CPU Carrier Boards. It has DT-support and uses the
watchdog framework.

Besides all of its problems, seems to me that could (or should) be a generic gpio
watchdog driver, possibly with device tree bindings describing how the various 
gpio pins are used.

	The result of !! is 0 or 1, so reset will never be larger than 1.

	Not sure if using fixed numbers for gpio pins is a good idea or even
	correct. You might want to pass that by the gpio maintainers.

Wonder if the maintainer will let you bypass the infrastructure with those
attributes. I wouldn't.

Pretty long sleep. You really want to put applications to sleep for that long
when pinging the watchdog ? I'd be more than a bit concerned that this might be
problematic for applications expecting to do something else besides sleeping in
a watchdog ping call.

Hmmm ... did you ever try to set the timeout ?

dev_err is preferred for messages, but I wonder what value you expect
from this message (and other similar messages) in the error log.

You might want to look into the reasons for using devm_ functions.

[PATCH v2] watchdog: New watchdog driver for MEN A21 watchdogs

[johannes.thumshirn]

From: Johannes Thumshirn <johannes.thumshirn@men.de>

This patch adds the driver for the watchdog devices found on MEN Mikro
Elektronik A21 VMEbus CPU Carrier Boards. It has DT-support and uses the
watchdog framework.

Revision 2:
* Removed unneeded open flag in struct a21_wdt_drv
* Corrected 3bit reason code from gpio
* Additional sysfs files are now part of watchdog sysfs
* Changed OFF/ON delay in ping from 400ms to 10ns
* Reworked timeout setting
* Removed a21_wdt_ioctl(...)

add:

before any #include to prefix pr_<level> messages.

OOM messages aren't particularly useful as all
failed memory allocations (without __GFP_NOWARN)
get a generic dump_stack().

Mixing pr_err and dev_err may not be that useful.

Why not all dev_err?  Then there'd be no pr_<level>
uses at all and you wouldn't need the pr_fmt either.

* Changed OFF/ON delay in ping from 400ms to 10ns
* Reworked timeout setting
* Removed a21_wdt_ioctl(...)

Revision 3:
* Changed pr_{err,info} to dev_{err,info}
* Removed out of memory error print
* Transition from "fast" to "slow" mode not allowed by chip

I prefer to have the reboot_notifier is being replaced by a platform .shutdown function.
Can you also split the sysfs stuff as a second patch so that I can review that seperately?

Kind regards,
Wim.

Hi Wim,

Of cause I'll do, but unfortunately I probably won't be able to do it today, mind if you get the patch tomorrow?

Hi Johannes,

I don't mind. There is no rush. Just take the time you need to change the code and do your testing.

Kind regards,

[PATCH v4 1/2] watchdog: New watchdog driver for MEN A21 watchdogs

[johannes.thumshirn]

From: Johannes Thumshirn <johannes.thumshirn@men.de>

This patch adds the driver for the watchdog devices found on MEN Mikro
Elektronik A21 VMEbus CPU Carrier Boards. It has DT-support and uses the
watchdog framework.

Revision 2:
* Removed unneeded open flag in struct a21_wdt_drv
* Corrected 3bit reason code from gpio
* Additional sysfs files are now part of watchdog sysfs
* Changed OFF/ON delay in ping from 400ms to 10ns
* Reworked timeout setting
* Removed a21_wdt_ioctl(...)

Revision 3:
* Changed pr_{err,info} to dev_{err,info}
* Removed out of memory error print
* Transition from "fast" to "slow" mode not allowed by chip

Revision 4:
* Remove reboot_notifier and place disable code into platform_device's shutdown function
* Removed sysfs interface

[PATCH v4 2/2] watchdog: Add sysfs interface for MEN A21 watchdog

[johannes.thumshirn]

From: Johannes Thumshirn <johannes.thumshirn@men.de>

This patch adds a sysfs interface for the watchdog device found on MEN A21
Boards.

The newly generated files are:
* rebootcause:
Can be one of:
Power on Reset,
CPU Reset Request,
Push Button,
FPGA Reset Request,
Watchdog,
Local Power Bad,
Invalid or
BDI
and shows the reason of the boards last reboot.

* active:
Shows if the watchdog CPLD is actually running

* allow_disable:
Shows if the watchdog is allowed to be disabled (NOWAYOUT disabled)

* fastmode:
Shows if the CPLD is running in fast mode (1s timeout), once it is in
fastmode it can't be switched back to slow mode (30s timeout) until the
next reboot.

Question: why don't you use the detection of the reboot cause in your driver
initialization so that you can:
1) report the reboot cause at the start of the driver (like we do in most
drivers that support these kind of features)
2) set the .bootstatus info in the watchdog_device struct data?
(See the WDIOF flags in #include <uapi/linux/watchdog.h>
#define	WDIOF_OVERHEAT		0x0001	/* Reset due to CPU overheat */
#define	WDIOF_FANFAULT		0x0002	/* Fan failed */
#define	WDIOF_EXTERN1		0x0004	/* External relay 1 */
#define	WDIOF_EXTERN2		0x0008	/* External relay 2 */
#define	WDIOF_POWERUNDER	0x0010	/* Power bad/power fault */
#define	WDIOF_CARDRESET		0x0020	/* Card previously reset the CPU */
#define	WDIOF_POWEROVER		0x0040	/* Power over voltage */
#define	WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT	0x0080  /* Set timeout (in seconds) */
#define	WDIOF_MAGICCLOSE	0x0100	/* Supports magic close char */
#define	WDIOF_PRETIMEOUT	0x0200  /* Pretimeout (in seconds), get/set */
#define	WDIOF_ALARMONLY		0x0400	/* Watchdog triggers a management or
					   other external alarm not a reboot */
#define	WDIOF_KEEPALIVEPING	0x8000	/* Keep alive ping reply */
(Example driver: wdt_pci.c )).

Kind regards,
Wim.

This watchdog only knows two timeout values, 1s and 30s with the constraint
that you can't go back to 30s once your in a 1s timeout without a reset of the
CPLD. I could initially set it to 30s but that would be redundant.

I wonder - why bother with supporting one-second timeouts ?

Is this realistic, ie can you guarantee that the watchdog will be pinged fast
enough to keep the system alive under all load conditions ? As far as I know
you can not even configure the watchdog application for less than 1 second
ping intervals.

Thanks,
Guenter

Well in my tests it was possible, maybe not under extremely high load. But
considering the application these boards (the VME CPU board the watchdogs chip
is on) are usually used by our customers, I hope they can react within a single
second. Another reason why I want to support the 1s timeout is, the VxWorks BSP
does it too and we don't want a Linux driver have less features than it's
VxWorks counterpart, do we ;-). Just kidding. My opinion is, the hardware
supports it and so should the driver, especially for the (safety critical)
industrial control and automation applications our customers usually do. Just
my point of view though.

Johannes

Ok I'll do. Should I repost this as a change of this patch or the "add driver"
patch?

Yes, but if I use a WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT ioctl call then I will get 0 because
you didn't initialize a21_wdt.timeout so you don't know wether or not
it's 30 or 1.

You can also set it default to 1 and use a timer to do the bridge between userspace
and an in kernel timer of 0.5msec. (see git/linux-watchdog/drivers/watchdog/pika_wdt.c
as an example).

Kind regards,
Wim.

that's why certain drivers use a timer to keep kicking the watchdog at
a rate of 0.5s (do a grep on HZ/2) untill userspace times out.
(example: drivers/watchdog/pika_wdt.c or drivers/watchdog/pcwd.c).

Kind regards,
Wim.

Yes, I have used the same trick in a couple of my drivers. That isn't done here,
though.

I even thought about adding this capability to the infrastructure.

I don't mind, but you might want to wait for Wim's feedback.
