From 33b711269ade3f6bc9d9d15e4343e6fa922d999b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pratyush Anand Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2015 17:53:59 +0530 Subject: watchdog: Read device status through sysfs attributes This patch adds following attributes to watchdog device's sysfs interface to read its different status. * state - reads whether device is active or not * identity - reads Watchdog device's identity string. * timeout - reads current timeout. * timeleft - reads timeleft before watchdog generates a reset * bootstatus - reads status of the watchdog device at boot * status - reads watchdog device's internal status bits * nowayout - reads whether nowayout feature was set or not Testing with iTCO_wdt: # cd /sys/class/watchdog/watchdog1/ # ls bootstatus dev device identity nowayout power state subsystem timeleft timeout uevent # cat identity iTCO_wdt # cat timeout 30 # cat state inactive # echo > /dev/watchdog1 # cat timeleft 26 # cat state active # cat bootstatus 0 # cat nowayout 0 Signed-off-by: Pratyush Anand Reviewed-by: Guenter Roeck Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck --- Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-watchdog | 51 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 51 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-watchdog (limited to 'Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-watchdog') diff --git a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-watchdog b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-watchdog new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..736046b33040 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-watchdog @@ -0,0 +1,51 @@ +What: /sys/class/watchdog/watchdogn/bootstatus +Date: August 2015 +Contact: Wim Van Sebroeck +Description: + It is a read only file.
