I am wondering if there is some better way of locking code and data for use in interrupt handlers. Why can't you just say that everything in one object file is dangerous and shouldn't be paged out? Also, in my program, I -know- I don't have some parts of the interrupt handler code and data locked, yet I never get page fault errors. How do I force a page fault if it is possible to happen? --- Ed Schlunder email: edward AT earthvision DOT asu DOT edu, zilym AT aztec DOT asu DOT edu, or zilym AT asu DOT edu url: http://earthvision.asu.edu/~edward/
