What is Linux Kernel internals?
Can you explain how input/output operations are managed by the Linux Kernel?
Certainly. The Linux Kernel uses a system of buffers and caches to manage input/output operations. Buffers are used to temporarily store data that is being moved between the system and hardware devices, while caches are used to store frequently accessed data to reduce the need to access slow storage devices. The Kernel also uses a system of input/output schedulers to manage the order in which input/output operations are performed, improving system performance and reducing latency.
