I normally learn the kernel on weekends. Reading R. Love and
practicing by coding what you learn is the best way. Also, trying to
submit simple patches on some free time is a good way , meeting Greg
Kroah and Shuan, they are fantastic people to learn from.

Is there any online method to interact with Mr. Greg Kroah Hartman?

Send patches for review.

I sent my solo patch back in 2017. But this time I am expecting to
send a never-ending stream of patches.

  also, if you want to get started mucking with the kernel and
submitting patches, consider improving the documentation -- there is a
lot of documentation that is at least a little out of date and could
use all the help it can get, and that's an easy and safe way to get
started getting your name into the kernel git log.

I know well that there is not any book that provides current knowledge
about the Linux kernel.
So, I have decided to make my blog (https://freeark1blog.blogspot.com)
a gateway to the Linux kernel development.

Why were the last kernel book by Mr. Greg Kroah Hartman and et. al. canceled?

Long story, not involving the authors at all.  A new version is not
going to happen any year soon so don't even worry about it.

Thanks for your words. I kindly request your mentorship. So that it
will be easy for me to make my blog
(https://freeark1blog.blogspot.com) as
a gateway to the Linux kernel development.

Amit Kumar
