Subject: msleep() in interrupt handler?

Hi List,

What will happen if call msleep() in an interrupt handler? I knew the msleep() 
will cause the calling process to sleep, but in the context of interruption, 
there is no process, so I am wondering what is getting 'sleep' in this 
situation.

If you are lucky you’ll get a message along the lines of “scheduling while 
atomic” on your console to let you know you’ve blown it. At least that’s what 
I’ve seen when I’ve blown it like that. 8^)
