The linux kernel has got, conservatively, thousands upon thousands of defects. The only reason to read it is in case you really need to know how it actually works, because the documentation for some syscall is wrong or your systems aren't working right in practice, or you need to know how some undocumented hardware works. Otherwise I'd say it's best left unread.
