Red Hat Summit 2014: Linux Kernel Internals with Linda Wang

29 minutes

Dave talked with Linda Wang, Senior Software Engineering Manager with Red Hat. Her team handles memory management, scheduling, kdump, and all that gnarly low-level stuff. Learn how kpatch was created because of a missed conference call, and get some tips from Linda on how to participate in kernel development.

Linda missed a conference call, so now we’re supporting kpatch. She did a whole session on it.
