New Skill Forged

Linux Device Drivers, 3rd Edition by Jonathan Corbet, Alessandro Rubini & Greg Kroah-Hartman. 600 pages.

The definitive Linux driver development guide — char drivers (file_operations, ioctl, blocking I/O, poll), kernel synchronization (mutex/spinlock/completions), interrupt handling (top/bottom half), DMA (streaming/coherent), block drivers, network drivers (sk_buff), and the Linux device model (kobject/sysfs).

What this skill teaches Claude to do:

  • Write a complete loadable kernel module with init/exit, parameters, and Makefile
  • Implement a character driver: registration, file_operations, read/write with copy_to_user
  • Use correct synchronization: mutex for sleeping, spinlock for IRQ context, completions for signaling
  • …and 7 more
