Title: [Que]Resources on the newer or the latest kernel dev
Post by: parad0x on December 13, 2015, 01:49:42 PM

So I started to do some kernel dev and the biggest problem is all the books are on Kernel 2.6.x while there are some major changes in kernel after 3.2 or around that. I started this book on writing device drivers, in the starting all was good, the part where I got lost is as the book is on kernel 2.6.10, it explains structures file_operations, inode, file and some more in a good way but the problem is the structure members are changed, some are added, some are removed and I didn't find a way to look for the documentation of these members, structures, functions. :(
I failed to find something that has some good explanation of the stuff added, and am lost. Any resource on where I can look for to get a good understanding of stuff?

P.S. I was  quite confused where to post it so  :P
