Subject: [virtio-comment] [PATCH] content: Reserve virtio-watchdog device ID
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2020 16:34:15 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201030163415.7339-1-robert.bradford@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201029063557-mutt-send-email-mst@kernel.org>

Reserve an ID for a watchdog device which may be used to ensure that the
guest is responsive. This is equivalent of a hardware watchdog device
and will trigger the reboot of the guest if the the host does not
periodic ping from the the guest.
