Lastly, what about this other book? The Design of the UNIX Operating System by Maurice Bach
That book is about the SYSV kernel. However, both it, and McKusic's book on the BSD kernel, are good because they demonstrate different approaches to solving the same problems that kernel writers hit. Also, they're good at getting you thinking about locking - there's a lot of discussion of "We need to lock so-and-so from here to there, because otherwise this specific bad thing can happen and eat your filesystem". Of course, I've worked on a boatload of operating systems in the last 3 decades, and am a firm believer that if you know how one operating system works, you don't understand operating systems....
