- throwaway29303 10mo agoMaybe fs/select.c or the polling machinery.
- suprjami 10mo agoAgree. The VFS is a delight to read. It's a good intro to the kernel pattern of using function pointers to provide a generic API which other functionality can plug into, simply by implementing the appropriate functions. In this case you'll see all the filesystem drivers implement the VFS operations.
