May I ask a question, why Solaris interrupts are so different from Linux interrupts which forbids blocking, alloc memory etc? Is there any benefit?
I think there's a benefit in terms of ease of programming; I don't know whether there's any price to pay in performance due to e.g. extra latency. In general though, Solaris' threading model is different from Linux; e.g. Linux is not pre-emptable in the kernel, a thread runs until it blocks or completes.
