- Research direction
- The issue requests a new chapter on kernel module programming. To scope this, explore the repository at https://github.com/0xAX/linux insides to understand the current chapter structure, content style, and any existing references to modules. Look for any prior discussions or comments that might clarify the intended depth. Then, propose a detailed outline covering aspects like module skeleton, loading/unloading, and interaction with kernel subsystems. The maintainer would need to approve the direction before implementation.
