"Linux Kernel Development" details the design and implementation of
the Linux kernel, presenting the content in a manner that is
beneficial to those writing and developing kernel code, as well as
to programmers seeking to better understand the operating system
and become more efficient and productive in their coding. The book
details the major subsystems and features of the Linux kernel,
including its design, implementation, and interfaces. It covers the
Linux kernel with both a practical and theoretical eye, which
should appeal to readers with a variety of interests and needs. The

and debugging techniques. This book covers the most interesting
features of the Linux 2.6 kernel, including the CFS scheduler,
preemptive kernel, block I/O layer, and I/O schedulers. The third
edition of Linux Kernel Development includes new and updated
material throughout the book:
- An all-new chapter on kernel data structures
- Details on interrupt handlers and bottom halves
- Extended coverage of virtual memory and memory allocation
