Hello
    Since I know the rtlinux interrupt handler will execute with interrupt disabled,
    i traced the source code rtl_core.c and found that the do_IRQ function will be replaced
    with the rtl_intercept function while loading the rtl.o module .
 
    There's one thing confusing me that in the rtl_intercept function , it doesn't disable
    the irq before dispath the realtime interrupt handler , but only execute the
    rtl_irq_controller_ack(irq) to acknoledge the PIC(Programable interrupt controller).
 
    under the mechanism, there's two points i can't understand.
 
    1. why the man page says that irq will be disabled during the realtime handler execution.
       In which stage it disabled the IRQ?
 
    2. after the ack function, the PIC should be able to send the next interrupt.(with the same IRQ)
       But if i didn't use rtl_global_pending_irq(IRQ) function to pend IRQ, rtl_intercept won't get
       the IRQ anymore. why? (it really disabled?)
 
 
    Best Regards,

    -Iven
