On some dw_wdt implementations the "top" register may be initted to 0
at bootup.  In such a case, each "pat" of the watchdog will reset the
timer to 0xffff.  That's pretty short.

The input clock of the wdt can be any of a wide range of values.  On
an rk3288 system, I've seen the wdt clock be 24.75 MHz.  That means
each tick is ~40ns and we'll count to 0xffff in ~2.6ms.

Because of the above two facts, it's a really good idea to pat the
watchdog after initting the "top" register properly and before
enabling the watchdog.  If you don't then there's no way we'll get the
next heartbeat in time.

The dw_wdt_set_top() function takes in a value in seconds.  In
dw_wdt_open() we were calling it with a value that's supposed to
represent the maximum value programmed into the "top" register with a
comment saying that we were trying to set the watchdog to its maximum
value.  Instead we ended up setting the watchdog to ~15 seconds.

Let's fix this.  However, setting things to the "max" gives me an 86
second watchdog in the system I'm looking at.  86 seconds feels a
little too long.  We'll explicitly choose 30 seconds as a more
reasonable value.

NOTE: Ideally this driver should be transitioned to be a real watchdog
driver.  Then we could use "watchdog_init_timeout" and let the timeout
be specified in a number of ways (device tree, module parameter, etc).
This patch should be considered a bit of a stopgap solution.

+ Guenter Roeck

This should have been fixed by dfa07141e7a792("watchdog: dw_wdt: initialise
TOP_INIT in dw_wdt_set_top()")

In fact, my original fix is as similar as your patch

http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg363658.html

Then Guenter Roeck suggest one elegant solution which is the base of
commit dfa07141e7a792.

Ah, yes. Doug, can you check if your patch is still needed ?

I will admit that I'm testing on a tree that doesn't have your patch
(I'm on a 3.14 kernel with lots of backports).  ...but I did try
cherry-picking your patch before I wrote up mine and it didn't fix my
problem.  I believe that the watchdog that's in Rockchip rk3288 must
be a slightly different version of the IP block than you're working
with.

Specifically I see the register WDT_TORR that has an offset of 0x4.
That's the RANGE_REG in your code.  It shows bits 3:0 set the timeout
period (0 = 0xffff and 15 = 0x7fffffff).  It shows bits 31:4 as
"reserved".

Yup, except that I pat the watchdog before enabling it and you pat it
after...  It probably doesn't matter as long as the two instructions
are within 2.5ms of each other, but it seems nice to be safer.

Not sure where that leaves us. Does that mean the driver supports different
hardware with different register sets ? Should that be documented in the driver,
and should we have (or do we need) different compatible statements for those
variants, and conditional code in the driver ?

And does it mean we need both patches, at least for some of the hardware
variants ? If so, what happens if those patches are applied and the resulting
driver runs on the other hardware ?

Thanks,
Guenter

Apparently so.  I've only seen the documentation from rk3288, but it's
clearly different than what you saw.

Probably not a terrible idea.

I'm not sure we actually need any conditional code.  I've put the
other patch on rk3288 and it didn't hurt to write those reserved bits.
I also can't quite believe that the extra pat will hurt on other
hardware.

I think it should be fine.


Do you want me to spin my patch and add some extra comments (but
otherwise keep it roughly unchanged?).  We can get Jisheng to add his
Tested-by...

Could you please dump registers' value at offset 0xf4 and 0xf8 if you don't mind?

Those are not documented in the user manual that I have, but:

>>> r(0xff8000f4)
0x10000a02
>>> r(0xff8000f8)
0x3130332a

Thanks. Now I got some information about your platform:

wdt version: v1.02a

WDT_DUAL_TOP is configured as false, so there's no TOP_INIT
WDT_DFLT_TOP is configured as 0, so it will timeout soon.

However, it doesn't hurt anything if we have an extra pat before
enabling WDT

Thanks,
Jisheng

Hi Jisheng,

This translates to ascii "103*". How does it translate to "1.02a" ?

Any chance you can provide the bit map for the register reporting
those flags ?

Thanks,

aha, yes. wdt version is v1.03* ;)
