本文探讨了Linux中中断处理程序如何可能抢占其他中断及异常处理程序，而异常处理程序则不会抢占中断处理程序。此外，还介绍了Linux交错内核控制路径的两个主要原因：提高可编程中断控制器和设备控制器的吞吐量；实现没有优先级级别的中断模型。


An interrupt handler may preempt both other interrupt handlers and exception handlers.
Conversely, an exception handler never preempts an interrupt handler.

Linux interleaves kernel control paths for two major reasons
· To improve the throughput of programmable interrupt controllers and device controllers
· To implement an interrupt model without priority levels.
