So, you want to write a kernel module. You know C, you've written a number of normal programs to run as processes, and now you want to get to where the real action is, to where a single wild pointer can wipe out your file system and a core dump means a reboot. Welcome to the club. Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide is for people who want to write kernel modules. It takes a hands-on approach starting with writing a small "hello, world" program, and quickly moves from there. Far from a boring text on programming, Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide has a lively style that entertains while it educates. Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide is one of the key documents of the Linux Documentation Project, an online compilation of freely distributed manuals and how-to guides on the popular Linux operating system.

Good buy,

This review is from: Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide (Paperback)
Complete examples make this little book an excellent buy. I use the author's listings to guide conversion of device driver modules from Linux 2.0 to Linux 2.2. There are a few typos in the text, but fortunately the listings appear to have been prepared directly from machine-readable sources.

Read the online version.,
This review is from: The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide (Paperback)
The book is poorly edited, the reference notes are not included and it's the same old version from 2007, nothing new. The price of the book is quite expensive for something you could read online or even print it.
