How do I start learning kernel development?

Start with kernel newbies. You do not need to read the full source code. Once you are familiar with the kernel API’s and its usage, directly start with the source code of the sub-system you are interested in. You can also start with writing your own plug-n-play modules to experiment with the kernel.
