Domanda di colloquio di Micron Technology

Tell me about linux internals and linux kernal. What is a heap and a stack? Difference between list and tuple in python. What is an zombie process, how do you deal with it? What is interrupt latency, race condition, context switch? Where do you see yourself in five years?

A zombie is a process that has completed execution but still has an entry in the process table Since a zombie is already dead, so you cannot kill it. To clean up a zombie, it must be waited on by its parent, so killing the parent should work to eliminate the zombie. (After the parent dies, the zombie will be inherited by init, which will wait on it and clear its entry in the process table.)
