Are these books outdated?

Hi,

Since there was a concern about these books being outdated, I want
to mention here also a book titled "Professional Linux Kernel
Architecture", by Wolfgang Maurer, Wiley, 2008, 1368 pages. (I read
it partially) And also I agree with Robert saying that he wouldn't
count on that publication date of LDD4 by Oreilly, since indeed the
publication date was postponed in the past (at least once but maybe
more, I am unsure about that)
  first, i wouldn't put any stock in a tentative publication date for
LDD4, as i have already offered to be a technical pre-publication
reviewer for that book, and i have been informed that there is no
guarantee that there will be a new version of that book.

  (frankly, i would doubt it only because there would be *so* *much*
content, it would be hard to pack all that into a single book. i can't
even imagine trying to list everything one would have to cover in that
newer version.)

  however, there are some git repos for the examples in LDD3 that were
being updated to keep up with the kernel source -- here is one of
them:

  https://github.com/martinezjavier/ldd3

i don't know if that code is still maintained, but it's definitely
more relevant than the code snippets from the original LDD3.
Here is link to Jessica McKellar's (LDD4 co-author) repo with examples
for the next book.

I'm not sure whether these examples are complete and in a good shape.
