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