That is correct.  The PID = 0 translations are always valid.

So this means
when kernel gets interrupted by app which may be in PID=5 (say)
kernel translations for PID=0 remain valid ?

But If the app was running with PID=1, interrupt occurs, kernel code

back to PID=0, since its translations are all in PID=0

PID 0 is special, it's mappings are present regardless of the value of the
PID register.
