| |
Quick question for the x86 gurus:
If a hardware interrupt arrives within a spin_lock_irqsave & spin_unlock_irqrestore will the interrupt handler associated with said interrupt be called immediately after the spinlock is released?
I am interested in any delays, even those less then a jiffie.
Cheers, Bart.
