Hi...
I have these questions regarding page faults and interrupts on the 386.

Can page faults happen while a CPU is executing an interrupt handler?
Logically, it can. The only problem is, whether it's minor page fault or major one? If it's a major one, then current code path will be switched out (because it will sleep due to disk reading). And as you know, sleeping is forbidden in interrupt handler.

regards,

Mulyadi
