From d9ca07a05ce1c42ac9717e54eaea4546a3a80978 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephane Eranian Date: Tue, 14 Sep 2010 15:34:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: Avoid kernel crash when disabling watchdog In case you boot with the watchdog disabled, i.e., nowatchdog, then, if you try to disable it via /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog, you get a kernel crash. The reason is that you are trying to cancel a hrtimer which has never been initialized. This patch fixes this by skipping execution of watchdog_disable_all_cpus() when the watchdog is marked disabled from boot.
