I am trying to understand the exact effects of splnet and splimp in the kernel. When running at splnet/splimp a process cannot be preempted out due to time slicing right ??? what happens when tsleep is called while at splnet ??? This happens in the accept system call, the system can't be left at the splnet priority level until a connection is made. How does tsleep effect the current spl ??? Is there a good explanation on the net or in book about these kernel architectural issues ???
