Subject: [RFC] [PATCH 0/10] Generic Watchdog Timer Driver
Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 21:41:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110223204108.GA6327@infomag.iguana.be> (raw)
Hi All,
To reduce copying the same code over and over in each watchdog device driver, Alan Cox and myself constructed a new framework/API that consolidates the common watchdog timer driver functions.
This framework/API consists of the following patches:
part 1: Introduction of the WatchDog Timer Driver Core
part 2: Add the basic ioctl functionality
part 3: Add the WDIOC_KEEPALIVE ioctl
part 4: Add the WDIOC_SETOPTIONS ioctl
part 5: Add the WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT and WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT ioctl
part 6: Add orphan control
part 7: Add the Magic Close feature
part 8: Add the nowayout feature
part 9: Add support for a miscdev parent device
part 10: Add support for extra ioctl calls
Note: I still need to add the minimum and maximum timeout parameters.
(That will become part 11).
Please provide feedback,
Kind regards,
Wim.
