Greg Kroah-Hartman (GKH) is a Linux kernel developer. He is the current 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®[3], the udev project, and the Linux Driver Project.[4] He worked for Novell in the SUSE Labs division and, as of 1 February 2012, works at the Linux Foundation.[1][5]

He is a co-author of Linux Device Drivers (3rd Edition)[6] and author of Linux Kernel in a Nutshell,[7] and used to be a contributing editor for Linux Journal. He also contributes articles to LWN.net, the computing news site.

Kroah-Hartman frequently helps in the documentation of the kernel and driver development through talks[8][9] and tutorials.[10][11] In 2006, he released a CD image of material to introduce a programmer to working on Linux device driver development.[12]

Kroah-Hartman has been a strong advocate of a stable kernel–user space API.[13]
