bottom half handler

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

 



Hi,

According to my Linux book; bottom half handling has all the 
interrupt restrictions of not doing sleep; schedule or accessing 
user space. What is the reason? Again if the entire IP packet 
processing happens in bottom half, does it mean that the IP stack 
does not wait on any resources ?(this is hard to digest!)

Thanks
Raghav
