Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: sunplus: fix sp_wdt_restart spin loop and timeout
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 14:53:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820125304.1583383-1-ag@ffroot.co.za> (raw)
sp_wdt_restart() returns immediately after writing WDT_RESUME. The
kernel continues executing and the watchdog kthread could pet the
watchdog before the short timeout expired, preventing reset.
Add a spin loop so no other CPU can pet the watchdog while waiting for
the reset. Set the restart timeout to ~1.5s.
