Simply, whenever either a device or driver is registered with the bus,
then probe function of matching driver is called by the bus subsystem.

That How does probe work depends on particular driver. To be brief,

If this is correct then how does probe works? Or how a particular

Hi,
Are there any articles or books or whitepapers that are useful for
understanding the basics of filesystems (like what are extents,
backing-device-infos, caching etc.) ? I dont want a generic OS book,
but something that explains about linux filesystems. Any
recommendations ?

also this type of definition of a structure where {},{} is

actually its not very complex thing, just that the macro has hidden the
complete declaration its like:
static struct pci_device_id rtl8139_pci_tbl[]
So, its actually array of structures, where

There are many good examples in drivers/net.
drivers/net/pci-skeleton.c for example. I think that it is a not big
problem to compare the text from the link with the current state of
the device drivers.

I am just exploring how much the linux is dependent on BIOS. I wanted to know :
1. Which information linux uses from BIOS ( some sort of tables like
MP tables, ACPI tables) and for what purpose?
2. Whether linux uses BIOS routines to program and initialize the
different chips (e.g.
