never wanted to write this document, being grossly underqualified,

but I always wanted to read it, and this was the only way. I
|
||||
simply explain some best practices, and give reading entry-points

into the kernel sources. I avoid implementation details: that's
|
||||
what the code is for, and I ignore whole tracts of useful
|
||||
routines. This document assumes familiarity with C, and an
|
||||
understanding of what the kernel is, and how it is used. It was

originally written for the 2.3 kernels, but nearly all of it
|

applies to 2.2 too; 2.0 is slightly different".
