Hi,
I would like to move the hardware watchdog pet code from user space to kernel space inside the ipmi module and would like to know how to go about pet the hardware watchdog at periodic interval. Any pointers help will be a cursory glance at Documentation/ipmi.txt states that IPMI comes with a standard watchdog timer. So what are you looking for?
Hi Anish, currently we configure/pet the watchdog from user space via /dev/ipmi0 device interface and I would like to do the pet part from kernel module. It looks like we do have ipmi_watchdog.c driver that does pet but I am not able to understand what I need to do in order to make it independent of user space and keep pet by its own. Wondering if you could please help me here. Regards, Vipul.
