The need for a document like this one became apparent in the linux-kernel  
mailing list as the same questions, asking for pointers to information,  
appeared again and again.  

Fortunately, as more and more people get to GNU/Linux, more and more get  
interested in the Kernel. But reading the sources is not always enough. It is  
easy to understand the code, but miss the concepts, the philosophy and design  
decisions behind this  
code.  

Unfortunately, not many documents are available for beginners to start. And,  
even if they exist, there was no "well-known" place which kept track of them.  
These lines try to cover this lack. All documents available on line known by  
the author are  
listed, while some reference books are also mentioned.  

PLEASE, if you know any paper not listed here or write a new document, send  
me an e-mail, and I'll include a reference to it here. Any corrections, ideas  
or comments are also welcomed.  

The papers that follow are listed in no particular order. All are cataloged  
with the following fields: the document's "Title", the "Author"/s, the "URL"  
where they can be found, some "Keywords" helpful when searching for specific  
topics, and a brief  
"Description" of the Document.  

Enjoy!

Operating System allows you to manage a large number of open files (file  
descriptors in UNIX/POSIX, or FDs) in your application. You want the OS to  
notify you when FDs become  
active (have data ready to be read or are ready for writing). Ideally you  
want a mechanism that is scalable. This means a large number of inactive FDs  
cost very little in memory and CPU time to manage".

conventions.
Description: From the Introduction: "Please understand that I never wanted to  
write this document, being grossly underqualified, but I always wanted to  
read it, and this was the only way. I simply explain some best practices, and  
give reading  
entry-points into the kernel sources. I avoid implementation details: that's  
what the code is for, and I ignore whole tracts of useful routines. This  
document assumes familiarity with C, and an understanding of what the kernel  
is, and how it is used.  
It was originally written for the 2.3 kernels, but nearly all of it applies  
to 2.2 too; 2.0 is slightly different".

Author: Detlef Fliegl.
URL:
http://usb.in.tum.de/usbdoc/

Keywords: USB, universal serial bus.
Description: A must-read. From the Preface: "This document should give  
detailed information about the current state of the USB subsystem and its API  
for USB device drivers. The first section will deal with the basics of USB  
devices. You will learn  
about different types of devices and their properties. Going into detail you  
will see how USB devices communicate on the bus. The second section gives an  
overview of the Linux USB subsystem [2] and the device driver framework. Then  
the API and its data  
structures will be explained step by step. The last section of this document  
contains a reference of all API calls and their return codes".
