Pasting this from the faq doc Anuz recently prepared (with help from
others on this list) for newbies.
Thanks,

C language programming books:
1. The C programming language by Kerninghan and Ritchie.
Its a must-have book, most code in Kernel is written in C language and
mastering C is import

Hi,
i'm not a C programmer , but i have a medium level of C programming
knowledge that i think its not enough for spend time on kernel source.
so could you people guide me for choosing a good resource for improving my C
programming knowledge?
Hi Sugan,

Hello,
I am a newbie and am trying to build the kernel, the kernel version am
trying to build in 2.6.36, i have added few header files and kernel module
in the kernel before the compilation, that procedure have followed is,
$make
$make module
$sudo make modules_install
$sudo make install
/boo
AFAIK, in the device_add() function (in driver/base/core.c), kernel will
invoke "device_create_file()" function to create the "*uevent*" file;
(The kobj is also added in this device_add() function by invoke
kobject_add() function)
In user space, the *udevd* is listening the NETLINK_KOBJECT_EVENT t

2. For the kernel code, is it feasible to the use the user stack? Why
do we bother to switch to the kernel stack?
The answer is Yes, you could. But it would be pretty messy &

hi All,
We are writing distributed file system over RDMA.
Initially we are trying export file system data over UDP multicast so same
method can be used to export data over UD/RDMA.
Is it safe to send udp data from kernel space ? we have to open the socket
which will multicast set of data.
What is

I have updated the doc and included few more points including the Robert's
html point. now it has been three days since the first mail, so i guess i
will push it further.
So I guess document is ready to be used/uploaded to kerrnelnewbie site if
there are no more points/suggestions or criticism.
