The Linux Kernel Stack

by: Fred the Oyster

This is a diagram that illustrates the Linux kernel's I/O stack, which is responsible for managing input and output operations. It shows various layers of the stack, including the VFS layer, block layer, I/O schedulers, SCSI layer, drivers, and physical devices. The diagram also highlights the relationship between applications and the different layers within the I/O stack. For instance, an application interacts with the VFS layer to access files or other resources on the file system. The block layer handles input/output operations for the file system, while the SCSI layer manages communication with physical devices such as hard drives and flash memory cards. The diagram is organized in a way that makes it easy to understand the complex structure of the Linux kernel's I/O stack and how different components work together to provide efficient input and output operations for applications.
