Page faults in interrupt context

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

 



Hi,

I have these questions regarding page faults and interrupts on the 386.

Can page faults happen while a CPU is executing an interrupt handler?
As far as I know, interrupt handlers are entered with interrupts
disabled. Does this mask page faults? If so, what happens when the
kernel faults on swapped-out pages within interrupts?

Thanks in advance.
