Following an overview of the design, implementation, and interfaces of the Linux kernel, a senior kernel engineer/open source hacker provides updated theoretical and applied coverage of the major features and subsystems of the current Linux 2.6 kernel. For software developers, Love reviews such nifty features as its preemptive kernel and I/O schedulers, as well as kernel modules and debugging. He emphasizes that this treatment is not a linebyline commentary of the kernel source. The book includes a decent list of books sorted by subject and websites for further information.
