You're comparing to ms/1000, which are microseconds. I think the existing test is correct? As far as integer overflow is concerned, max_hw_heartbeat_ms is an unsigned int. We set it to 4294967, which *1000 = 0xfffffed8. This should be fine. > + wdd->timeout = actual; This might be the correct thing to do though. I'll defer to the watchdog maintainers for their input.

The above code would defeat that mechanism for no good reason. NACK. Guenter

The integer overflow happens at (actual * WDT_RATE_1MHZ). For example, if a user tries to set timeout to 4295 seconds, then the hardware would be programmed to timeout after about 32 milliseconds. I would say this behavior is not expected? Cheers, Tao

The fix would be - actual = min(timeout, wdd->max_hw_heartbeat_ms * 1000); + actual = min(timeout, wdd->max_hw_heartbeat_ms / 1000); without modifying wdd->timeout = timeout; The real problem here is that "wdd->max_hw_heartbeat_ms * 1000" is simply wrong. The overflow is a side effect of the wrong calculation, and concentrating on it disguises the real problem. Guenter
