Subject: Re: [PATCH] watchdog: octeon-wdt: Add a panic_on_timeout parameter
Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2026 18:55:03 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9f6fb41b5af14c09818980273307e2ca@alliedtelesis.co.nz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <sashiko-outbox-183127@kernel.org>

kernel-parameters.txt does not list per-driver watchdog parameters; none
of the watchdog drivers have entries there, including softdog's
soft_panic.
watchdog-parameters.rst has no section for octeon-wdt at all, so its
existing heartbeat, nowayout and disable parameters are not documented
either. I can add an octeon_wdt section there covering all four
parameters, either in a v2 of this patch or as a separate patch,
whichever you prefer.
Carl
