Description:
This directory contains the details about the device that are
assigned in kernel (i.e. software), as opposed to the
firmware_node directory which contains the details that are
assigned for the device in firmware. The main attributes in the
directory will show the properties the device has, and the
relationship it has to some of the other devices.Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
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.
