|
|
|
* WDOG_NO_WAY_OUT: this bit stores the nowayout setting for the watchdog.
|
|
|
If this bit is set then the watchdog timer will not be able to stop.
|
|
|
|
|
|
+ To set the WDOG_NO_WAY_OUT status bit (before registering your watchdog
|
|
|
+ timer device) you can either:
|
|
|
+ * set it statically in your watchdog_device struct with
|
|
|
+ .status = WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT_INIT_STATUS,
|
|
|
+ (this will set the value the same as CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT) or
|
|
|
+ * use the following helper function:
|
|
|
+ static inline void watchdog_set_nowayout(struct watchdog_device *wdd, int nowayout)
|
|
|

|
|
|
Note: The WatchDog Timer Driver Core supports the magic close feature and
|
|
|
the nowayout feature. To use the magic close feature you must set the
|
|
|
WDIOF_MAGICCLOSE bit in the options field of the watchdog's info structure.
