If you are a beginner it might be convenient to look on a small subsystem first. The filesystem is really big and complicated, I think. If you are familiar with the embedded world, maybe something like spi or i2c might be a good starting point. If you want to understand networking, maybe starting with the tun/tap kernel module and try to understand how it "injects"/"grabs" packets/frames from/to userspace. This way you learn something on the data structures of the network subsystem. Just my 3 cents.
