Not all watchdog drivers implement WDIOC_SETOPTIONS. Drivers which do
not implement it have their device always enabled. So it's fine to
report an error if WDIOS_DISABLECARD is passed and the ioctl is not
implemented, however failing when WDIOS_ENABLECARD is passed and the
ioctl is not implemented is not good: if the device was already
enabled then WDIOS_ENABLECARD was a no-op and wasn't needed in the
first place. So we can just ignore the error and continue.
flags = WDIOS_ENABLECARD;
r = ioctl(watchdog_fd, WDIOC_SETOPTIONS, &flags);
- if (r < 0)
- return log_warning_errno(errno, "Failed to enable hardware watchdog: %m");
+ if (r < 0) {
+ /* ENOTTY means the watchdog is always enabled so we're fine */
+ log_full(errno == ENOTTY ? LOG_DEBUG : LOG_WARNING,
+ "Failed to enable hardware watchdog: %m");
+ if (errno != ENOTTY)
+ return -errno;
+ }
r = ioctl(watchdog_fd, WDIOC_KEEPALIVE, 0);
if (r < 0)
