Why This File Exists

Shared kernel service surface used by multiple subsystems, including helpers, cryptography, virtualization support, and async I/O infrastructure.

• Shared kernel service surface used by multiple subsystems, including helpers, cryptography, virtualization support, and async I/O infrastructure.
• Defines or uses C structs; map object ownership, embedded links, reference counts, and lock ownership.

Dependency Surface

• crypto/internal/skcipher.h
• internal.h

Detected Declarations

• No top-level syscall, struct, function, initcall, or export declaration detected by the generator.

Annotation

• Immediate include surface: `crypto/internal/skcipher.h`, `internal.h`.
• Atlas domain: Kernel Services / crypto.
• Implementation status: source implementation candidate.

Implementation Notes

• This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
• Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
• Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
