Subject: [PATCH v3 3/8] firmware: smccc: lfa: Add timeout and trigger watchdog
Date: Mon,  6 Jul 2026 15:44:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706134455.132091-4-andre.przywara@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260706134455.132091-1-andre.przywara@arm.com>

From: Vedashree Vidwans <vvidwans@nvidia.com>

Enhance PRIME/ACTIVATION functions to touch watchdog and implement
timeout mechanism. This update ensures that any potential hangs are
detected promptly and that the LFA process is allocated sufficient
execution time before the watchdog timer expires. These changes improve
overall system reliability by reducing the risk of undetected process
stalls and unexpected watchdog resets.
