Hi all,

Can Linux kernel do context switching when the interrupt is disabled? I

am learning the code in ARM platform but I think this question might be arch-independent. You're not allowed to perform any blocking operations while interupts are disabled. Anything that context switches would be considered a blocking operation. So no. -- Dave Hylands Shuswap, BC, Canada http://www.davehylands.com
