Hi Sukrit,

 as he doesnt dig deep into core kernel development instead focuses on

stuff

such as Process mgnt , synchronization ,VFS...etc etc...in a rather

into specific subsystems like Networking ...network stack,...etc you can
always start off with network internals...but my suggestion is Robert

and start of writing few LKMs....tats my opinion....

Hi Sukrit,

People ask me this a lot so I wrote a post in blog about it, you can
read it here:


http://martinezjavier.blogspot.com/2011/10/what-is-best-way-to-learn-linux-kernel.html

Also I used to maintain a repo with the Linux Device Drivers 3 book
examples:


But I haven't committed anything for over a year because I'm too busy
to do it. So cloning that tree, forward porting those virtual drivers
and send me the patches would be a good way to learn and also great
for the newbies community.

Even you can fork that tree and try to maintain yourself :)

Good luck
Javier

Hi Javier,

Thats a really nice blog you have mate.....and examples and ideas you have
posted is really good...even thou our opinions are similar the android
porting that you have mentioned is a really good way,
