Spinlocks and interrupts

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

 



When I readup on spinlocks, it seems like I need to choose between 
disabling interrupts and not. If a spinlock_t is never used during an 
interrupt, am I safe to leave interrupts enabled while I hold the lock? 
(Same question for read/write locks if it is different.)
