Package: src:linux Version: 5.17.1-1~exp1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
when working with linux-image-cloud-amd64's bullseye cousin, I noticed that the watchdog dev (/dev/watchdog) was absent from the VM and I'm unable to use the watchdog actions. The OpenStack wiki says that only "i6300esb" makes sense: <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/LibvirtWatchdog> "KVM has a choice of two watchdog devices, but in reality only the PCI i6300esb device makes sense, since the alternative is a legacy ISA bus device." Looking through the provided modules files for the kernels /lib/modules/5.10.0-13-cloud-amd64/kernel/drivers/watchdog/ (and later /lib/modules/5.17.0-trunk-cloud-amd64/kernel/drivers/watchdog/ of linux-image-5.17.0-trunk-cloud-amd64. I did this because the reportbug suggested that I also look at the experimental branch and I thought: "hey, why not?!") the available watchdog modules are (both 5.10.0-13 + 5.17.0-trunk): mei_wdt.ko, ni903x_wdt.ko, nic7018_wdt.ko, softdog.ko, wdat_wdt.ko, wdt_pci.ko and xen_wdt.ko This makes sense, since in /boot/config-5.10.0-13-cloud-amd64 and /boot/config-5.17.0-trunk-cloud-amd64 had the watchdog disabled: | # CONFIG_I6300ESB_WDT is not set Would it be possible to build the i6300esb as a module for future releases?
