Linux kernel development book


Could anyone of you recommend me a book on linux kernel development?

I have read Rubinis book (Linux Device Drivers), and are looking for one that gives a more in-depth (and up to date) explanation of the workings of the kernel, how device drivers communicate with different types of hardware through buses and so on.

The ones I have been considering so far are
-Essential Linux Device Drivers by Sreekrishnan Venkateswaran (http://www.amazon.com/Essential-Devi...4543476&sr=8-2)
-Linux Kernel Development by Robert Love (http://www.amazon.com/Linux-Kernel-D...4543476&sr=8-6)

Which one would you have bought?

I have these ones and they are really useful

Understanding the Linux Kernel, Third Edition by
Daniel P. Bovet, Marco Cesati.

Linux System Programming by Robert Love.

I've also read Linux Kernel Development by Robert Love, it's nice too but not so exhaustive as Understanding the Linux Kernel.
