pagetables used in interrupt context

Hi All,

Please correct me if I am wrong. In linux each process will have its
own page tables, so when a interrupt happens processor will switch to
interrupt context
and execute the proper handler. So my doubt, if this is the case,
interrupt hanlder will be using the pagetables of the interrupted
process or is there a separate page table for this.
