From: "Suresh Singh K." <sureshsingh.keisam@analog.com> Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2002 20:27:26 +0530 Next time when the kernel thread "sofirqd" is scheduled , it executes the RX softirq. As the version you are using is a non-preemptive kernel, the control paths are all non-deterministic. So the longer interrupt processing Absolutely wrong, softirqs run at the return from any hardware interrupt trap as long as we are not already inside of a hw interrupt. softirqs runs to handle softirqs in process context when softirqs are "overloaded". - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
