This book follows on from Linux Kernel Programming Part 1, helping you explore the Linux character device driver framework and enables you to write 'misc' class drivers. You'll learn how to efficiently interface with user apps, perform I/O on hardware memory, handle hardware interrupts, and leverage kernel delays, timers, kthreads, and workqueues.
