5 * Driver for a little io fencing timer.

13 * The hangcheck-timer driver uses the TSC to catch delays that
14 * jiffies does not notice. A timer is set. When the timer fires, it
15 * checks whether it was delayed and if that delay exceeds a given
16 * margin of error. The hangcheck_tick module parameter takes the timer
17 * duration in seconds. The hangcheck_margin parameter defines the
18 * margin of error, in seconds. The defaults are 60 seconds for the
19 * timer and 180 seconds for the margin of error. IOW, a timer is set
20 * for 60 seconds. When the timer fires, the callback checks the
21 * actual duration that the timer waited. If the duration exceeds the
22 * allotted time and margin (here 60 + 180, or 240 seconds), the machine
23 * is restarted. A healthy machine will have the duration match the
24 * expected timeout very closely.
