We're speaking about kernel code.
The good starting point for kernel newbies is http://kernelnewbies.org/.

By Linux source code, you should mean the Kernel (which handles I/O operations) source code. Because Linux is made of two components, the Kernel & the userland (User Interface).

There is a site for the Linux Kernel at:
http://www.kernel.org/

Here you can download the kernel & get more information about the kernel, be sure to read the FAQ. You will get many search results if you search in Google.

The one I found filled with information:
http://www.linux.org/dist/kernel.html

This contains information like Linux Kernel Internals. :)
