Greg Kroah-Hartman is a major Linux kernel developer. As of April 2013, he is the Linux kernel maintainer for the -stable branch,[2] the staging subsystem,[2] USB,[2] driver core, debugfs, kref, kobject, and the sysfs kernel subsystems,[2] Userspace I/O (with Hans J. Koch),[2] and TTY layer.[2] He also created linux-hotplug, the udev project, and the Linux Driver Project.[3] He worked for Novell in the SUSE Labs division and, as of 1 February 2012, works at the Linux Foundation.[1][4]

Biography[edit]

Kroah-Hartman is a co-author of Linux Device Drivers (3rd Edition)[5] and author of Linux Kernel in a Nutshell,[6] and used to be a contributing editor for Linux Journal. He also contributes articles to LWN.net, the Linux news site.

Kroah-Hartman frequently helps in the documentation of the kernel and driver development through talks[7][8] and tutorials.[9][10] In 2006, he released a CD image of material to introduce a programmer to working on Linux device driver development.[11]

He also initiated the development of openSUSE Tumbleweed, the rolling release model edition of openSUSE.[12][13]

In April 2021, Kroah-Hartman announced the decision to ban the University of Minnesota from contributing to the Linux kernel and to revert all prior patches from the university after researchers intentionally inserted bugs in an unauthorised penetration test.[14][15]
