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.
- Uses kernel synchronization; read lock ordering, sleepability, and interrupt context assumptions before translating.
- Defines or uses C structs; map object ownership, embedded links, reference counts, and lock ownership.

* Once the driver indicates to the service processor that it is running
* - see send_os_state() - the service processor sends periodic heartbeats
* to the driver. The driver must respond to the heartbeats or else the OS
* will be rebooted.
* In the case of a panic the interrupt handler continues to work and thus
* continues to respond to heartbeats, making the service processor believe
* the OS is still running and thus preventing a reboot.
* To prevent this from happening a callback is added the panic_notifier_list.
* Before responding to a heartbeat the driver checks if a panic has happened,
* if yes it suspends heartbeat, causing the service processor to reboot as
* expected.

- 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.
