🙂 “The book explains well individual issues as they arise. But having a clear, top-down understanding of the linux kernel may give you more context to understand the chapters.”

🙁 “In summary, this book is NOT a tutorial. It is NOT a guide. Don’t make the mistake of buying this book expecting a gentle (or even a not-so-gentle) introduction to writing device drivers.”
