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.

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `linux/completion.h`, `linux/mutex.h`, `linux/kref.h`, `scsi/scsi_cmnd.h`.
- Detected declarations: `struct st_cmdstatus`, `struct scsi_tape`, `struct st_request`, `struct st_buffer`, `struct st_modedef`, `struct st_partstat`, `struct scsi_tape_stats`, `struct scsi_tape`.
- Atlas domain: Driver Families / drivers/scsi.
- Implementation status: source 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.
