I am working through Linux Device Drivers, Third Edition and while the book is released under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike license, I can't seem to locate the source code for the examples used in the book.

Some Amazon reviews mention that they do exist, but fail to provide a reference. In the book snippets you can see that the license is GPL, so they must exist somewhere.

My google-fu is bringing up malware infested pits of despair.

What would be a good source for those example files used in LDD book?

Turns out there are two good sources:

Former is more authoritative, but latter might be better for later kernel revisions.

A: 

Upon further searching I found Florida State University Linux Kernel course page, which does have a version of them.

That was published by O'Reilly's publisher, it might be worth your while to check there at their site. The link is here. Also is the link to their source code.

Edit: Adding another link.

Hope this helps, Best regards, Tom.

Through one of your links I found one of the author's ftp site: ftp://ar.linux.it/pub/ldd3/ That would be the most authorative answer. :) Although FSU page might be better for later kernels.

A: 

I am working on a project http://code.google.com/p/ldd3-examples/ to provide updated examples for the latest kernel. You people can also help to make the project complete by collaborating in that project.
