The APIs have all changed a lot since the 3rd edition. The concepts haven't changed that much. And given that the in-kernel APIs have *always* been a moving target, being able to deal with the fact that a given function now takes a 'struct foo*' rather than a 'struct bar *' is a very necessary skill for anybody who's planning to do serious kernel work. --==_Exmh_1628763234_131750P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Exmh version 2.9.0 11/07/2018 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJhFPRhAAoJEI0DS38y7CIcAf4H/ivD8eGOum+x8xNhmxiOl6iM sWRLy6LceExHtenqGEqwgi55DBdK3fk0ermW5suUzGZBah6dEHqEgxPjU1d9KS3M P5/yfx8vQU+r3/3mFa69MVGOgW3ijZhkBoE9CxUS2BcqOD/9yTs+CYZs5FE7CkCN IIUVNayBYr5ZvF0UlJjg0VHQn7YxpFwwSjPpdJbdQySjdtezxDjCq6Nfw70jBq5J /B87plonfrjrrJymISpBvVn6pangCThJ04XnAh3raOMWYtUDFeqjcL218EP1C119 Otf1IBp0by969VYXwhbEkYAFKVX5BGeN6LBTHAyCJ+4kHCaBQuRifcyPK1MPuzU= =qRru -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1628763234_131750P-- --===============3860929427373368894== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies --===============3860929427373368894==--
