Used for external hardware interrupts. If this is the first external
hardware interrupt (i.e. not a nested hardware interrupt) then the

The interrupt stack is also used when processing a softirq.

If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure

- will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.
