mixing interupts and threads.

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

 



Hello All ,
I've a few questions.
1. Lets suppose i've some critical section and it is synchronized with locks. A thread came and it's execution is in the middle of critical section, at this time an interrupt was occurred which also executes critical section. As interrupts can't wait on any lock it will get lock and try to execute the critical section and above thread was not yet completed. So inconsistency . How this was handled in Linux. 2.Some process is running in kernel mode, at this a kill was sent to this process, does this signal will delivered to the process while it is in kernel mode.

And also please provide some links how threads ,signals and interrupts will be mixed.

Regards,
Ravikumar.
