preemption

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

 



 
 Dear list,
 
 Please help me to analyze the following scenario:
 
 By having a userspace process 'A' executing a system call.
 Hardware interrupt happens. Do you think on exit from interrupt (irq_exit)
 the context switch could take place? Let's assume no softirq work is pending.
 
 (a) kernel is not preemptive
 (b) kernel is preemptive
 (c) with RT patch
 
 Thank you in advance!
