X-Git-Tag: v3.0-rc1~343^2~2 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4eec42f392043063d0f019640b4ccc2a45570002;p=pandora-kernel.git watchdog: Change the default timeout and configure nmi watchdog period based on watchdog_thresh Before the conversion of the NMI watchdog to perf event, the watchdog timeout was 5 seconds. Now it is 60 seconds. For my particular application, netbooks, 5 seconds was a better timeout. With a short timeout, we catch faults earlier and are able to send back a panic. With a 60 second timeout, the user is unlikely to wait and will instead hit the power button, causing us to lose the panic info. This change configures the NMI period to watchdog_thresh and sets the softlockup_thresh to watchdog_thresh * 2. In addition, watchdog_thresh was reduced to 10 seconds as suggested by Ingo Molnar.
