Dave Jones's[0] Post Halloween 2.6 document is interesting: http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/docs/post-halloween-2.6.txt Robert Love has a fantastic book (but it's missing a few topics like networking): http://www.tech9.net/rml/kernel_book/ There is a revised Linux Device Drivers/Understanding the Linux Kernel in the pipeline (trying to recall which I was being told about at the last FOSDEM - UTLK perhaps). Undoubtably there will be both books in due course and the current deficit will be fixed just in time for 2.7. > Particularly about memory management and structures, and how these structures > work thogether in the kernel? Understanding the Linux Virtual Memory Manager is interesting, but don't read it or Robert's book if you're on a Eurostar and haven't had enough sleep - too easy to nodd off :P > I didn't found any really useful information along the web. http://www.lwn.net/ <--- For all your kernel needs, go consult Mr. Jon. I'm writing a series for a Linux magazine at the moment, but it's in dead tree form - interested readers can go buy Linux User & Developer from good newsagents. Jon.
