I know you are going to say Understanding the Linux Kernel, but that is for 2005! and kernel 2.6. We know that currently, the latest version is 4.4 and the version number updates quickly. So, where can I find the core of IO architecture, page cache, block layer and ... for the most stable architecture and not the version number? Regards, Mahmood
