bottom half question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In uni processor system ( 2.6 kernel )

An  interrupt happened and ISR routine is  serviced , then   bottom
half scheduled and while the bottom half is running

1) Suppose  same interrupt happened  again - > then  (the previous )
bottom half is preempted  and ISR is serviced for new interrupt. After
ISR , same bottom half will be run again ? or the new  one ?

2) if it is a new bottom half being run ,( since bottom half is in
interrupt context )  where it can store register info of previous
interrupt ?


3) Suppose a lot of interrupts happen in a short period of time , how
and when bottom half for each interrupt  gets scheduled ?
