Controlling Interrupts

Interrupt enable/disable control in a service call is accomplished by IPL manipulation. The IPL value in a service call is set
to the kernel mask level(OS interrupt disable level = system.IPL) in order to disable interrupts for the kernel interrupt han-
dler. In sections where all interrupts can be enabled, it is returned to the initial IPL value when the service call was invoked.

For service calls that can be issued from only task context.
