Hi,quoted
Since there was a concern about these books being outdated, I want to mention here also a book titled "Professional Linux Kernel Architecture", by Wolfgang Maurer, Wiley, 2008, 1368 pages.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. https://github.com/jesstess/ldd4 I'm not sure whether these examples are complete and in a good shape. -- Best regards, Andrey Skvortsov -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
