Mellanox watchdog drivers | ||
for x86 based system switches | ||
|
||
This driver provides watchdog functionality for various Mellanox | ||
Ethernet and Infiniband switch systems. | ||
|
||
Mellanox watchdog device is implemented in a programmable logic device. | ||
|
||
There are 2 types of HW watchdog implementations. | ||
|
||
Type 1: | ||
Actual HW timeout can be defined as a power of 2 msec. | ||
e.g. timeout 20 sec will be rounded up to 32768 msec. | ||
The maximum timeout period is 32 sec (32768 msec.), | ||
Get time-left isn't supported | ||
|
||
Type 2: | ||
Actual HW timeout is defined in sec. and it's the same as | ||
a user-defined timeout. | ||
Maximum timeout is 255 sec. | ||
Get time-left is supported. | ||
|
||
Type 1 HW watchdog implementation exist in old systems and | ||
all new systems have type 2 HW watchdog. | ||
Two types of HW implementation have also different register map. | ||
|
||
Mellanox system can have 2 watchdogs: main and auxiliary. | ||
Main and auxiliary watchdog devices can be enabled together | ||
on the same system. | ||
There are several actions that can be defined in the watchdog: | ||
system reset, start fans on full speed and increase register counter. | ||
The last 2 actions are performed without a system reset. | ||
Actions without reset are provided for auxiliary watchdog device, | ||
which is optional. | ||
Watchdog can be started during a probe, in this case it will be | ||
pinged by watchdog core before watchdog device will be opened by | ||
user space application. | ||
Watchdog can be initialised in nowayout way, i.e. oncse started | ||
it can't be stopped. | ||
|
||
This mlx-wdt driver supports both HW watchdog implementations. | ||
|
||
Watchdog driver is probed from the common mlx_platform driver. | ||
Mlx_platform driver provides an appropriate set of registers for | ||
Mellanox watchdog device, identity name (mlx-wdt-main or mlx-wdt-aux), | ||
initial timeout, performed action in expiration and configuration flags. | ||
watchdog configuration flags: nowayout and start_at_boot, hw watchdog | ||
version - type1 or type2. | ||
The driver checks during initialization if the previous system reset | ||
was done by the watchdog. If yes, it makes a notification about this event. | ||
|
||
Access to HW registers is performed through a generic regmap interface. |
