TASKS AND STATE TRANSITIONS

Once access to the task gate has been verified, the TSS selector from the gate is read. The RPL of the TSS selector is ignored. From this point, all the checks and actions performed for a JMP or CALL to a TSS after access has been verified are performed (see section 8.4). Figure 8-4 illustrates an example of a task switch through a task gate.
