Hi All,
It's good to start with LDD3 for beginner, But we end up just compiling the
modules from the examples.
Most of us don't now how to test these modules. But we can get learn the basic
of module programming.
Real challenge are in the kernel source tree.
For example if we have a

Well, assuming you
How much of a beginner are you? In particular, how much do you know
about operating system kernels in general? And how much
multi-threaded programming have you done, in situations where you have
to manage your own locking?
Here's a little something about myself, I'm fairly good with C, Python
in it and see if you can fix it or try understand what others fix.

As a beginner, would it be better to work with the kernel of a specific OS
(I'm
running Ubuntu), or work on the upstream kernel?
Depends what you're trying to
But please note that if you're
finding it *completely* incomprehensible, you're probably not going to
be able to make any real code contributions until you get up to speed.

i'm going to jump in here since i see this question annoyingly

I wouldn't recommend playing with the code to ubuntu users that barely know

usually recommend to start by installing Gentoo following its handbook. The

I would suggest you to fix on a module and start following what are the
bugs in it and see if you can fix it or try understand what others fix.
