No.

    >> 2.If one DSR is blocked, can kernel switch to another DSR?

No. A DSR must run to completion before the next DSR is run, or before
control returns to a thread, although interrupts are allowed while a
DSR is running.

For more information see the kernel documentation,
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/docs-latest/ref/kernel-overview.html
especially the sections on "Threads and Interrupt Handling" and
"Calling Contexts".
