Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] PM: dpm_watchdog: Add sysctl interface for DPM watchdog timeouts
Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2026 09:07:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260604090756.2884671-8-tzungbi@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260604090756.2884671-1-tzungbi@kernel.org>
Introduce sysctl knobs to allow configuring DPM watchdog timeouts at
runtime.
Currently, these timeouts are fixed at compile time via
CONFIG_DPM_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT and CONFIG_DPM_WATCHDOG_WARNING_TIMEOUT.
This limits flexibility if the timeouts need to be adjusted for
different testing scenarios or hardware behaviors without rebuilding
the kernel.
Add the following sysctl files under /proc/sys/kernel/:
- dpm_watchdog_timeout_secs: The total timeout before panic. The
maximum value is capped at CONFIG_DPM_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT to prevent
unreasonably large timeouts.
- dpm_watchdog_warning_timeout_secs: The warning timeout. The maximum
value is capped at the current dpm_watchdog_timeout_secs.
Both sysctls have a minimum value of 1.
