Subject: [PATCH 1/1] watchdog: aspeed: add nowayout support
Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2022 18:10:33 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220212021033.2344-1-eduval@amazon.com> (raw)
Add support for not stopping the watchdog
when the userspace application quits. At
closing of the device, the driver cannot
determine if this was a graceful closure
or if the app crashed. If the support
of nowayout on this driver, the system integrator
can select the behaviour by setting the kernel
config and enabling it.
