I have a question regarding spin_lock_irqsave. Can bottom halfs or softirqs execute if an irq lock is held? E.g spin_lock_irqsave(&lock, flags) function() spin_unlock_irqsave(&lock, flags) Is it possible that function is interrupted by bottom half or softirq? If yes, then do I need to aquire another lock by spin_lock_bh ?? If not, can someone point me to the code which prevents bottom half or softirq from executing if irq lock is held. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
