Re: Why can't we sleep in an ISR?

good enough, but i have a query regarding this then.
On a 8K kernel stack system, doesn't interrupts share the stack associated
with the current process which was interrupted?

Yes, I think so.

Doesn't interrupt steals the CPU slice time allocated to the running process
to run?

I don't think so but I am not sure.

Doesn't it run in current process's context ?


No. I think the concept of process context is a higher-level logical
concept. Though the interrupt share stack with the interrupted
process, in my opinion it logically does not share the context with
the process.

What am i missing here?

Thanks

But I do not see the exact relationship between your specific queries
and the original question. Could you elaborate?
