This is my homework question and I need a pointer to know what I must look
for.

How does FreeBSD 5.2.1 control the interrupt level?
For example, is it possible to block off network interrupts when servicing
a
clock interrupt?
If so, how?  How are interrupt threads managed
(created/destroyed/scheduled)?


Hi,

Third Edition of Linux Device Drivers, by Jonathan Corbet.
http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/

Chapter 10 : Interrupt Handling

It will give you much more information.

Thanks & Rg
