如何学习 Linux 内核代码？

[xinmans]

今天发现我的蜗牛星际的 PT 下载 qb 因为内存不足被系统 oom-killer 了，但是系统的 8G 内存我发现并没有用完，在 1.8G 的时候 killed ，kill 完后掉到了 1.2G ，qb 只用了 0.6G 内存，所以想调查下原因，同时阅读了下 oom-killer.c 源码，发现作者提到是 this file will double as a 'coding guide' and a signpost for newbie kernel hackers ，因此想请教 Linux 内核大拿们如何阅读，比如我想借着 oom 这个 case 实际看下上下文机制。有没有好的入门的文档可以指引源码学习，甚至是自己修改编译测试
