A guide to the Kernel Development Process

|
The purpose of this document is to help developers (and their managers)
|
|
|
|
|
work with the development community with a minimum of frustration. It is
|
|
|
|
|
an attempt to document how this community works in a way which is
|
|
|
|
|
accessible to those who are not intimately familiar with Linux kernel
|
|
|
|
|
development (or, indeed, free software development in general). While
|
|
|
|
|
there is some technical material here, this is very much a process-oriented
|
|
|
|
|
discussion which does not require a deep knowledge of kernel programming to
|
|
|
|
|
understand.
