From 4379e59fe5665cfda737e45b8bf2f05321ef049c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Douglas Anderson Date: Fri, 19 May 2023 10:18:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] watchdog/perf: more properly prevent false positives with turbo modes Currently, in the watchdog_overflow_callback() we first check to see if the watchdog had been touched and _then_ we handle the workaround for turbo mode. This order should be reversed. Specifically, "touching" the hardlockup detector's watchdog should avoid lockups being detected for one period that should be roughly the same regardless of whether we're running turbo or not. That means that we should do the extra accounting for turbo _before_ we look at (and clear) the global indicating that we've been touched. NOTE: this fix is made based on code inspection. I am not aware of any reports where the old code would have generated false positives. That being said, this order seems more correct and also makes it easier down the line to share code with the "buddy" hardlockup detector.
