An excellent read for understanding the workings of the kernel, the authors have painstakingly taken time to explain in great detail. If you're planning to buy the book, make sure that you have downloaded the kernel to experiment with it. The book is based on the 2.2.x kernel and at the end of each chapter the authors mention the changes in 2.4.x.
Readers of the book should have an above 60% understanding of C and some understanding about x86 kernel code since the authors have focussed mostly...

Provides a good amount of description about the various subsystems (both data structures and functions that manipulate them) that make up the Linux kernel (Linux 2.6.11 to be exact). Includes a few instances of unavoidable "Forward references".

Beware that you need to have a thorough understanding of C and a little bit know-how of any assembly language (x86, ARM, etc). The path to understanding the Linux kernel will be much easier if you have prior Application/Device driver programming expe...

This book gives a through insight of the linux kernel. One can use this as self study and gain a lot of understanding on operating system as a whole. One needs to have a lot of patience and dedication to understand this book.
Note: knowledge of 32 bit assembly language is needed to understand this book throughly.

Nice 👌👌

Good for understanding the basics of Kernel.

Paper quality not great

Covers about linux in detail, not so helpful for beginners. Includes most of the implementation data structures, system calls etc. Suitable for those who have foundation in Operating Systems and basic programming knowledge.
