Summary

In this chapter, we briefly covered all the core elements of modules, its implications, and management details. Our attempt has remained to give you a quick and comprehensive view of how kernel facilitates its extensibility through modules. You also understood the core data structures that facilitate module management. Kernel's attempt at remaining safe and steady in this dynamic environment is also a notable feature.

I really hope this book serves as a means for you to go out there and experiment more with Linux kernel!
