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.
- Defines an operation table; this is where Linux turns generic core objects into subsystem-specific behavior.
- 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.

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `linux/spinlock.h`, `linux/if_ether.h`, `linux/atomic.h`.
- Detected declarations: `struct adapter`, `struct l2t_data`, `struct neighbour`, `struct net_device`, `struct file_operations`, `struct cpl_l2t_write_rpl`, `struct l2t_entry`, `struct l2t_skb_cb`, `function t4_set_arp_err_handler`.
- Atlas domain: Driver Families / drivers/net.
- Implementation status: pattern 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.
