Creating network character device (similar to nbd) would make some people

Hello, respected Linux kernel developers,
    I am currently a university student taking a "Advanced design of 
Operating Systems" class at
New York University. We are reviewing some basic and studying a few 
advanced issues with regards
to kernel design, mostly multithreading, scalability, performance 
improvement - its webpage is http://www.scs.cs.nyu.edu/G22.3033-010/
take a look if you please. The requirement of the class is a final 
project proposal and
implementation of a student's own choosing - I would really like to do 
something useful for the
linux kernel, but I do not know what kinds of issues are most imminent 
at the linux kernel and
have to be worked on. I would greatly appreciate it if people would 
send me ideas of what is
needed and what I can work on - it can be pretty much anything, any 
topic or project, but it must
relate to kernel development, thus I am asking it here. 
I am not subscribed to the list yet, please CC to me your reply.
Thank you very much,
Yuri Niyazov

http://linux24.sourceforge.net/ is a good place to start.

You should be.

Also I suggest you read the lkml FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ . It should
give quite a few starting points.

Cool ... I've been meaning to put together a "student's projects"
page for http://kernelnewbies.org/ for a while now, but haven't
gotten around to it. ;(

But feel free to drop by on #kernelnewbies any time you want, I'm
sure we'll be able to find a few projects to work on.

Btw ... any volunteers to help document a number of student projects
for the Linux kernel so we can put a page up with a bunch of
possible kernel projects ?

regards,

Rik

If it was working it was by sheer luck -

You need the loop patches available at
