Section 1 is the executive summary.
Section 2 introduces the development process, the kernel release
cycle, and the mechanics of the merge window.
Section 3 covers early-stage project planning, with an emphasis
on involving the development community as soon as possible.
Section 4 is about the coding process; several pitfalls which
have been encountered by other developers are discussed.
Section 5 talks about the process of posting patches for review.
Section 6 covers what happens after posting patches; the job is
far from done at that point.
Section 7 introduces managing patches with git and reviewing
patches posted by others.
Section 8 concludes the document with pointers to sources for
more information on kernel development.
