Description

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Spl is the name for a collection of Unix interrupt priority control functions. SPL is short for "Set Priority Level". The functions include splhigh, splserial, splsched, splclock, splstatclock, splvm, spltty, splsofttty, splnet, splbio, splsoftnet, splsoftclock, spllowersoftclock, spl0, splx. "The naming goes back to the early days of UNIX on the PDP-11. The PDP-11 had a relatively simplistic level-based interrupt structure. When running at a specific level, only higher priority interrupts were allowed. UNIX named functions for setting the interrupt priority level after the PDP-11 SPL instruction, so initially the functions had names like spl4 and spl7. Later machines came out with interrupt masks, and BSD changed the names to more descriptive names such as splbio (for block I/O) and splhigh (block out all interrupts)."
