I've also fixed a lock leak, see goto unlock :-) > Reported-and-tested-by: Michal Hocko <[email protected]> *blink* that actually fixed it.. That somewhat leaves me at a loss explaining how s2r was failing. --- Subject: watchdog: Fix merge 'conflict' Two watchdog changes that came through different trees had a non conflicting conflict, that is, one changed the semantics of a variable but no actual code conflict happened. So the merge appeared fine, but the resulting code did not behave as expected. Commit 195daf665a62 ("watchdog: enable the new user interface of the watchdog mechanism") changes the semantics of watchdog_user_enabled, which thereafter is only used by the functions introduced by b3738d293233 ("watchdog: Add watchdog enable/disable all functions"). There further appears to be a distinct lack of serialization between setting and using watchdog_enabled, so perhaps we should wrap the {en,dis}able_all() things in watchdog_proc_mutex. This patch fixes a s2r failure reported by Michal; which I cannot readily explain. But this does make the code internally consistent again.
