disabling/masking interrupts

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

 



I know that the interrupts are divided into maskable and non-maskable interrupts. and what i want to know :
1- is enabling/disabling interrupts the same as masking/unmasking interrupts? and what is the differences in case not ?
2- can non-maskable interrupts be disabled (in the case that the two operations (disable/mask) are not the same) ?
3- how can disabled interrupts be unlost ?? and how do the PIC sends them again to the CPU as they are enabled again ?
4- are masked interrupts lost ? or they are to be send again when they are unmasked ?
 
By the way i'm reading "understanding the linux kernel 2nd edition" so who has the book can know what the information are missing to me
thanks in advance.
