From f4e9c82f64b524314a390b13d3ba7d483f09258f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans de Goede Date: Tue, 22 May 2012 11:40:26 +0200 Subject: 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.
