Why This File Exists

Top-level or miscellaneous repository surface. Use this as map coverage unless a later manual pass promotes the file into a deeper subsystem dossier.

• Top-level or miscellaneous repository surface. Use this as map coverage unless a later manual pass promotes the file into a deeper subsystem dossier.

Dependency Surface

• No C-style include directives detected by the generator.

Detected Declarations

• No top-level syscall, struct, function, initcall, or export declaration detected by the generator.

Annotated Snippet

#define __ASM_GENERIC_DMA_H
/*
 * This file traditionally describes the i8237 PC style DMA controller.
 * Most architectures don't have these any more and can get the minimal
 * implementation from kernel/dma.c by not defining MAX_DMA_CHANNELS.
 *
 * Some code relies on seeing MAX_DMA_ADDRESS though.

Annotation

• Atlas domain: Repository Root And Misc / include.
• Implementation status: source implementation candidate.

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.
