User preemption can occur when (i) returning to user

space from an interrupt handler.
My doubt is that one of these conditions may occur
Only after the time slice of a process is over. Worse
still can a user be executing without making a system
call or interrupt occurring. In this case user will
not preempt even long after the time slice is over as
preemption depends on conditions (i) and (ii) given
above. Or am I missing a point. Please explain.
