[PATCH] rtc: ds1374: wdt:support suspend/resume for watchdog

[winton.liu]

When enable CONFIG_RTC_DRV_DS1374_WDT use as watchdog,
in suspend mode, watchdog is still working but no daemon
patting the watchdog. The system will reboot if timeout.
So disable watchdog in suspend  and recover it in resume.

That is definitively not what we want. Many people will want to still
have the watchdog running when the platform is suspended. Your options
are to either disable the watchdog before going to suspend or wake up
the platform just in time to ping the watchdog.

I guess this is a question for the watchdog subsystem maintainers.
However, I think that everything can be handled properly from userspace
as I know some atmel based devices have their watchdog enabled while
the platform is suspended.

Depends on the driver, really. There is one thing wrong below, though:
It appears that on resume, the watchdog is unconditionally enabled.

Hi Guenter & Alexander,

Sorry for late update. I have modified the resume function.
    resume: disable existing watchdog, reload watchdog timer, enable watchdog
Could you help to review attached patch ?
Thanks a lot.

Useless initialization (yes, I can see that this is widely done in the driver,
but that doesn't make it better).

Extra empty line. Also, returns void, so what is the point of assigning
the result to ret ?

Unless I am missing something, this unconditionally starts the watchdog
at resume time. So if it was not running before, it will be started anyway,
and the system will reboot since there will be no ping.

I assume it is guaranteed that the chip doesn't forget the previously
configured timeout on resume.

Overall the driver would really benefit from a conversion to the watchdog
subsystem.

Also, I'm still not convinced this is the right thing to do. I have seen
many systems were it was desirable to let the watchdog run while the
system is suspended. It ensures it will either wake up or reboot. If you
don't want that, why not disabling the watchdog from userspace before
going to suspend?

Usually watchdog drivers supporting suspend/resume do handle it this way.
Maybe that depends on the HW. Expecting user space to do it makes it
even more racy than it already is, since there is no watchdog protection
after it has been disabled, so I am not sure if that is really better.
Does anyone happen to know if/how systemd and watchdogd are handling
this situation ?

Ah, yes, and I even provided feedback. Hope I didn't miss an updated
version of that patch. Either case, seems to me we should wait for that
patch to make it in before accepting any further changes to the driver.

That doesn't make it better and is not an argument.

Meaning the system will reboot unless the watchdog device is opened ?
Weird, and conceptually wrong.

What if the watchdog device is stopped explicitly by the watchdog demon ?

Only if CONFIG_RTC_DRV_DS1374_WDT is enabled, and then it appears the driver
has other problems such as unconditionally enabling the watchdog.
Given that, I am not in favor of temporary changes.
