Thanks .. I have another question. I was trying to practice some kernel process management APIs as in http://reiber.org/nxt/pub/Linux/LinuxKernelDevelopment/Linux.Kernel.Development.3rd.Edition.pdf (Linux Kernel Development by Robert Love, 3rd edition).

I am not sure how to practice the code snippet given in the text book. I can understand the theory but do not find a way to practice. For example: I want to read a process 'struct task_struct' to find it parent's process identifier, how many tasks are in which state, creating kernel threads etc?

Any idea?

As per as I know, you can follow two text books. 

1. Linux Kernel Development by Robert Love, 3rd edition. 
2. Linux Device Drivers by Alessandro Rubini, Jonathan Corbet, Greh Kroah-Hartman. 3rd edition.

At the same time, you can practice the exercises given in the text books - practice makes a man perfect. The other thing is "Make your hands dirty by digging the kernel code whenever you have a doubt".

Srinivas
