Table of Contents
Julio Merino wrote most of Chapter 2, File system internals and small bits of Chapter 1, Memory management. These chapters were the foundation of this book.
The initial versions of these chapters were written as part of tmpfs' development, which was possible thanks to Google's Summer of Code 2005 program.
Thanks also go to William Studenmund for reviewing Chapter 2, File system internals and providing multiple valuable suggestions.
Emmanuel Dreyfus wrote half of Chapter 3, Processes and threads. Daniel Sieger wrote Section 3.6, “Thread scheduling”.
Antti Kantee wrote Chapter 4, Networking and Chapter 5, Networking Services, but was kind enough to leave room for future contributions on the subject.
