The term Line Discipline gets me every time, it's right up there with Kernel, Shell and Terminal and always takes me back to my first contact with Unix and Unix-like systems. Felt like being eight years old and being allowed to pet a real dinosaur.

kindly put the comment section inside an expandable accordion or something, it takes 90% of the scrollbar space on your page currently. i initially thought it is a 500,000 word article only to scroll down 5 pages and see rest of everything is comments

Firefox reading mode told me it'd be a 108 - 137 minute read, I almost skipped the article(and missed out) because of that.

By far the best way to learn writing kernel drivers. N_DEVELOPMENT for the win! (That's a newer line discipline number for testing, first supported in Linux v5.18-rc1 from 2022.)
