Does anybody have some work in the scheduler subsystem I can work on that is a good top dipping for a kernel newbie.
I think you should start with learning the schedular and it code....may be you can find something...
There is zero code in the scheduler that somebody of your demonstrated competence will be able to successfully modify.
For that matter, there is zero code in most of the rest of the kernel that you're in any position to patch.
One shouldn't judge a book by its cover....This is a newbie list, If all people here are already competent enough to post high-end patches(though patching a kernel might not be a very huge thing in this world, given that there are more complex things in this world) ..then there would be not need of a newbie list.
Do yourself and the world a favor - make a resolution to *NOT* attempt a patch of anything in the calendar year 2014, and spend the time learning.
Its always a good idea to keep learning and keep others motivated to learn... :)
