This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled watchdog: using u64 in get_sample_period() to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Herton ------ From 3acbf3f900ffa4eb71cae7fcb68cc915f8347391 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chuansheng Liu <chuansheng.liu@intel.com> Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2012 16:29:54 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 06/20] watchdog: using u64 in get_sample_period() commit 8ffeb9b0e6369135bf03a073514f571ef10606b9 usptream. In get_sample_period(), unsigned long is not enough: watchdog_thresh * 2 * (NSEC_PER_SEC / 5) case1: watchdog_thresh is 10 by default, the sample value will be: 0xEE6B2800 case2: set watchdog_thresh is 20, the sample value will be: 0x1 DCD6 5000 In case2, we need use u64 to express the sample period. Otherwise, changing the threshold thru proc often can not be successful.
