Hi,
One question about Interrupt,

I read in blog http://lkdp.blogspot.com/ that " When an interrupts are being
masked, they are not lost, rather PIC remembers those and do send the
interrupt to CPU when CPU unmasks that interrupt line."
But in book I read that "If the kernel allows itself too much time to
process an ISR when interrupts are disabled, it can (and will) happen that
interrupts are lost."

My question is that when we mask the interrupt, do they lost or do they get
send to processor when they unmasked back??

Thanks
  Shyam
