| H A D | sysfs-class-watchdog | bc44fa73 Tue Nov 05 14:51:18 CST 2019 Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> watchdog: make nowayout sysfs file writable
It can be useful to delay setting the nowayout feature for a watchdog
device. Moreover, not every driver (notably gpio_wdt) implements a
nowayout module parameter/otherwise respects CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT,
and modifying those drivers carries a risk of causing a regression for
someone who has two watchdog devices, sets CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT
and somehow relies on the gpio_wdt driver being ignorant of
that (i.e., allowing one to gracefully close a gpio_wdt but not the
other watchdog in the system).
So instead, simply make the nowayout sysfs file writable. Obviously,
setting nowayout is a one-way street.
