Reentrancy (computing) - Reentrant Interrupt Handler

Reentrant Interrupt Handler

A "reentrant interrupt handler" is an interrupt handler that re-enables interrupts early in the interrupt handler. This may reduce interrupt latency. In general, while programming interrupt service routines, it is recommended to re-enable interrupts as soon as possible in the interrupt handler. This practice helps to avoid losing interrupts.
