From: Hans de Goede Date: Tue, 22 May 2012 09:40:26 +0000 (+0200) Subject: watchdog: Add Locking support X-Git-Tag: upstream/snapshot3+hdmi~7333^2~10 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f4e9c82f64b524314a390b13d3ba7d483f09258f;p=platform%2Fadaptation%2Frenesas_rcar%2Frenesas_kernel.git watchdog: Add Locking support This patch fixes some potential multithreading issues, despite only allowing one process to open the /dev/watchdog device, we can still get called multiple times at the same time, since a program could be using thread, or could share the fd after a fork. This causes 2 potential problems: 1) watchdog_start / open do an unlocked test_n_set / test_n_clear, if these 2 race, the watchdog could be stopped while the active bit indicates it is running or visa versa. 2) Most watchdog_dev drivers probably assume that only one watchdog-op will get called at a time, this is not necessary true atm.
