Subject[PATCH v2 2/9] watchdog: introduce the proc_watchdog_update() function
Date
This series introduces a separate handler for each watchdog parameter
in /proc/sys/kernel. The separate handlers need a common function that
they can call to update the run state of the lockup detectors, or to
have the lockup detectors use a new sample period.
