[systemd-devel] Question about hardware watchdog

[Liu, Shuang (ADITG/ESM)]

Hi,

We are facing problem with hardware watchdog.

To my understanding, the watchdog is pinged inside the manager_loop(),
which means, during e.g. systemctl daemon-reload, watchdog cannot be pinged.

Here, perhaps other timeouts are involved in, e.g. generator timeout, dbus timeout, systemctl timeout, ...
which could be larger than the RuntimeWatchdogSec.

Thus a problem with systemctl daemon-reload could trigger the watchdog timeout.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks.

Shuang Liu
