In what ways are threads executing at an IRQL equal to or greater than DPC/dispatch level restricted?Why is this so?

What will be an ideal response?


Threads executing at these IRQLs cannot access pageable data or enter a wait state.
This is so because thread scheduling occurs at the DPC/dispatch IRQL and therefore is
masked, and page faults or blocking causes a scheduling code to be executed.
