<br>
I'm very interested in memory management, so I have read many<br>
materials such as Understanding the Linux Virtual Memory Manager and<br>
Understanding the Linux Kernel (2nd). These books are all about kernel<br>
2.4 and I have read the source code of kernel 2.4 for a long time.<br>
<br>
I once thought I can use kernel 2.4 as my stepping-stone and begin my<br>
journey of kernel development, but I feel frustrated. Kernel 2.4 and<br>
kernel 4.4.30 are almost completely different! I can't even find a<br>
familiar function and I don't know how to begin. I want to contribute<br>
to mm subsystem and I believe many developers in this list are more<br>
experienced than me, so could you give me some advice. Thanks!<br>
<br></blockquote><div>2.6.XX series had same books with newer version, which are closer to 4.X.X kernels.<br></div><div>But I don't think any book is completely upto date. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
