Both of these books are good(I highly recommend the Arnold book for
anyone interested in programming) general programming books, but IIRC,
neither go into kernel programming.

Two other books I do recall, are:
"Linux Filesystems" by William Von Hagen
This book is old(as far as Linux kernel time goes), but still does a
great job on describing how various Linux filesystems work
"UNIX Filesystems: Evolution, Design, and Implementation" by Steve D. Pate
This is a good book to explain general filesystem theory.
