The test cases that I have been using for testing my watchdog work are
available at
http://www.stinkycat.com/patches/watchdog_stuff/watchdog_test.tar.gz
The test are for both the legacy (well, current) /dev/watchdog interface
and my proposed sysfs based interface.

Thanks a bunch Rusty, I'll take a look at them for LTP.

Just a quick question : is there an easy to force the kernel to Oops,
to make sure that the watchdog will even be working under such
conditions ?
I know people are all trying to avoid Oops... but I think the testplan
should include that too...

Paul

You can write a kernel module that when loaded will disable all
interrupts and sit and spin, or even easier just call panic().

Too easy I should have thought about it myself...
Thanks for the tip...

Steve Hemminger of OSDL did one of these. You can get it at
www.osdl.org/archive/rddunlap/tools/dump_test.c
if you are interested. (I just put it there and there is a
15-minute rsync delay...)
