Hi,
This is copy/paste from <linux/hardirq.h>:
/*
* Are we doing bottom half or hardware interrupt processing?
* Are we in a softirq context? Interrupt context?
* in_softirq - Are we currently processing softirq or have bh disabled?
* in_serving_softirq - Are we currently processing softirq?
*/
#define in_irq() (hardirq_count())
#define in_softirq() (softirq_count())
#define in_interrupt() (irq_count())
#define in_serving_softirq() (softirq_count() & SOFTIRQ_OFFSET)
Regards,
Bojan
