Why This File Exists
Repeatable hardware-adapter layer. Deep compatibility for every driver is out of scope; this atlas records patterns, probe lifecycles, bus glue, IRQ/DMA usage, and links back to core abstractions.
- Repeatable hardware-adapter layer. Deep compatibility for every driver is out of scope; this atlas records patterns, probe lifecycles, bus glue, IRQ/DMA usage, and links back to core abstractions.
- Exports symbols or registers init work; inspect boot/module ordering and who consumes the exported contract.
- Uses kernel synchronization; read lock ordering, sleepability, and interrupt context assumptions before translating.
- Allocates kernel memory; connect allocation flags and lifetime to context constraints.
- Defines or uses C structs; map object ownership, embedded links, reference counts, and lock ownership.

/*
* get_type
* @type_name
*
* Attempt to retrieve the dm_exception_store_type by name. If not already
* available, attempt to load the appropriate module.
*
* Exstore modules are named "dm-exstore-" followed by the 'type_name'.
* Modules may contain multiple types.
* This function will first try the module "dm-exstore-<type_name>",
* then truncate 'type_name' on the last '-' and try again.
*
* For example, if type_name was "clustered-shared", it would search
* 'dm-exstore-clustered-shared' then 'dm-exstore-clustered'.
*
* 'dm-exception-store-<type_name>' is too long of a name in my
* opinion, which is why I've chosen to have the files
* containing exception store implementations be 'dm-exstore-<type_name>'.
* If you want your module to be autoloaded, you will follow this
* naming convention.
*
* Returns: dm_exception_store_type* on success, NULL on failure

- Implementation status: integration implementation candidate.
- Synchronization appears in or near this file; preserve lock ordering, sleepability, and interrupt-context constraints.
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.
