+ :Description: Programming bugs and Do-nots in kernel driver development
+ :Abstract: *Quit a few tutorials, articles and books give an introduction
+ on how to write Linux kernel drivers. Unfortunately the things one
+ should NOT do in Linux kernel code is either only a minor appendix
+ or, more commonly, completely absent. This paper tries to briefly touch
+ the areas in which the most common and serious bugs and do-nots are
+ encountered.*
