Hi,
        What is a "Software Interrupt"? I was going thru the LDD 3 and
stumbled upon this. There is an
instance while explaining spin_lock_bh() function that the author
mentions that this only disables the "Software Interrupts"( LDD 3,page
number 119). In the immediately next paragraph, these "Software
Interrupts" are linked to "tasklets". I am not able to fully understand
this point. It would be really nice if some one elaborated on this.

 

 

 

Regards,,

Aravind.
