Hi Joel, > You need to be clear with yourself on the meaning and the > types/differences of different contexts first, because its really > confusing when you say "kernel context (not interrupt)". Could you, please be a little more specific about what is confusing? As this is learning ground it would be nice (as learning exercise) to explain and give a definition of various OS contexts. This will help me to remove the confusion. I would be the first to thank you for that. > would be good to read up a little more on this and then come back and > ask more questions. Do you have any specific reading suggestions in mind ?
