7.1.3 System Calls from a Handler That Caused an Interrupt during Handler
Execution
Let us think of a situation in which an interrupt occurs during handler execution (this handler is hereinafter re-
ferred to as handler A for explanation purposes). When task switching is called for as a handler (hereinafter re-
ferred to as handler B) that caused an interrupt during handler A execution issued a service call, task switching
does not take place during the execution of the service call (ret_int service call) returned from handler B, but is
effected by the ret_int service call from handler A (See Figure 7.3).
