Thanks Jonathan for your quick response. I want to know if the function
test_alarm_func (the alarm handler in example simple-alarm.c) is called in
interrut context?
Basically I want to know if some other function can be called (or
rescheduling is possible), when test_alarm_func is getting executed.

Does the following code have synchronisation problem?

test_alarm_func( ) {
    access critical data    /* no locks here */
}

another_function ( ) {
    lock schedular
    access critical data
    unlock schedular
}

one_more_function ( ) {
    lock schedular
    access critical data
    unlock schedular
}
