Developing Kernel Drivers for Specific-Purpose Memory: Inside mempool_t
Every kmalloc() call is a promise the kernel might not keep.The Kernel Watches Itself: Inside Soft Lockup, Hard Lockup, and Hung Task Detection
A userspace watchdog answers a simple question: Is my application still running? It cannot answer a far more important one: Is the kernel itself still making forward progress? Once the scheduler stalls or a CPU stops servicing interrupts, userspace loses the ability to observe the system.Implementing a Minimal Monolithic Kernel Module for Device Access
