This is the most complete book for Linux Kernel. If you want to get a deep understanding of a particular Linux Kernel feature, this is probably the best book you’ll get. There are other books easier to read, but they don’t go nearly as deep as this one. For example, I wanted to understand the Linux I/O stack, and this is the only book I found that truly explains it. Other books just explain block device drivers, but do not get in the I/O stack much. The same with the TCP/IP stack, and so on. This book is perfect for professionals. It’s not meant for students.
The only reason why I give 4 stars instead of 5 is because this book is starting to be outdated. It would be great to have an updated revision. Many things have changed since kernel 2.6.
