When the inteff is set, all interrupts are enabled and the pending interrupt is allowed through the and gate to the sequence controller. The way it works with interrupts is that processor will call an enabled interrupt over and over again until application clears the corresponding interrupt flag. Parapin turns parallel port interrupts off by default. Note that there is no local interrupt mask for the irq interrupt, so your interrupt handler routine need not clear an interrupt request flag. In a computer, an interrupt request or irq is a hardware signal sent to the processor that temporarily stops a running program and allows a special program, an interrupt handler, to run instead. Interrupt handlers are initiated by hardware interrupts, software interrupt instructions, or software exceptions, and are used for implementing device drivers or transitions between protected modes of operation.
The interrupt controller maps the irq number to an interrupt vector index 5. The interrupt is kept enabled and is masked in the flow handler when an interrupt event happens. If software is to support nested interrupts, for example, to allow a higher priority interrupt to interrupt the handling of a lower priority source, then software must explicitly reenable interrupts using the following instruction.

On a shared irq the caller must ensure the interrupt is disabled on the card it drives before calling this function. The system must flush the execution pipeline and then execute 18 instructions, the last of which is the jalr that calls the handler function.
Irq interrupt request an or irq is a hardware signal sent to the processor that temporarily stops a running program and allows a special program, an interrupt handler, to run instead. The operation modes thread mode and handler mode determine whether the processor is running a normal program or running an exception handler like an interrupt handler or system exception handler. This chapter describes interrupt handling mechanisms, such as registering, servicing, and removing interrupts.
