From: Guenter Roeck Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2015 08:27:24 +0000 (-0700) Subject: watchdog: Always evaluate new timeout against min_timeout X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1e935949111e77b2b1b6fa550e88ff0573c2f4c7;p=linux-beck.git watchdog: Always evaluate new timeout against min_timeout Up to now, a new timeout value is only evaluated against min_timeout if max_timeout is provided. This does not really make sense; a driver can have a minimum timeout even if it does not have a maximum timeout. Ensure that it is not smaller than min_timeout, even if max_timeout is not set.
