This book does a great job of explaining the data structures and mechanisms Linux uses. It is also written as plainly as possible considering the subject at hand and the editor did a nice job making sure the text is not overly complicated. The book does not include many code examples compared to other books on the subject such as Linux Kernel Internals. The best use is as a reference or as a guide while actually viewing the kernel code. It should be more resistant to kernel changes over time as a result of focusing on the theories and interfaces behind the kernel but will have to be updated if the internal structures are changed. |
