kernel-docs: Add book to process/kernel-docs.rst

2025-02-18T20:24:01+00:00

Add a reference to my new book, The Linux Memory Manager, an in-depth exploration of the memory management subsystem, to process/kernel-docs.rst. This is not yet published, but the full draft is available on pre-order, so it seems worthwhile adding it here. The situation is made clear in the 'notes' section. The 'pre-release' was made available in February 2025, and full release is scheduled for Fall 2025. The book's ISBN-13 is 978-1718504462. The document will be updated upon release to reflect this.

Documentation: fix links to mailing list services

2024-07-03T22:52:54+00:00

There have been some changes to the way mailing lists are hosted at kernel.org. This patch does the following: 1. fixes links that are pointing at the outdated resources 2. removes an outdated patchbomb admonition We still don't particularly want or welcome huge patchbombs, but they are less likely to overload our systems.

docs: Extend and refactor index of further kernel docs

Extend the Index of Further Kernel Documentation by adding entries for the Rust for Linux website, the Linux Foundation's YouTube channel, and notes on the second edition of Billimoria's kernel programming book. Also, perform some refactoring: format the text to 75 characters per line and sort per-section content in chronological order of publication.
