From 8c073d27d7ad293bf734cc8475689413afadab81 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ulrich Obergfell Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2015 15:45:18 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: introduce watchdog_suspend() and watchdog_resume() This interface can be utilized to deactivate the hard and soft lockup detector temporarily. Callers are expected to minimize the duration of deactivation. Multiple deactivations are allowed to occur in parallel but should be rare in practice.
