Hi Mulyadi I am sorry i was not able to present my requirement clearly..infact of the two options that u mentioned, the 1st one is wat i require..If i get 5 interrupts, then i want the tasklet to get executed 5 times.Since this is the requirement, the linked list implementation doesnt solve the purpose.
