Importance of kobject

[Rami Rosen]

Hi,
Also sysfs is tied inherently to the kobject infrastructure. So I
suggest that you will take a look also in
http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/latest/source/Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt

Chapter 14 of Linux Device Drivers, 3rd edition, was written in 2005,
so you should take in account that things change a bit since then in
terms of implementation details. The principles are for a large extent
quite the same, though.

Regards,
Rami Rosen
