Re: Linux Kernel generic question (procedure queue)

But my main advice will be to get yourself a copy of
"Linux Device Drivers" by Rubini and Corbet first.

After purchasing the book on Vladmir's great advice, I realized
that I could download the PDF version of the entire book at
http://www.xml.com/ldd/chapter/book/bookindexpdf.html .

Is there any reason the PDF version of this book is (seemingly)
free?  I don't feel bad about downloading it, since I've already
purchased the book, but I think it's not fair to the authors.

Unless, of course, they *want* to give it away...
