IPMI Watchdog patch

From: Corey Minyard
Date: Mon Aug 02 2004 - 13:30:42 EST


Andrew,

The following patch is ready for inclusion; it makes the IPMI
watchdog more consistent with the other watchdog drivers.

I have tested this and it seems to work correctly. I also added docs
for the interface change.

- support disabling watchdog by writing 'V' to device.
- unify printk()
- use atomic bit operations on ipmi_wdog_open

Note that if you use the NMI preaction for the watchdog, you MUST
NOT use nmi watchdog mode 1. If you use the NMI watchdog, you
must use mode 2.
+
+Once you open the watchdog timer, you must write a 'V' character to the
+device to close it, or the timer will not stop. This is a new semantic
+for the driver, but makes it consistent with the rest of the watchdog
+drivers in Linux.
