- Immediate include surface: `linux/swap.h`.
- Detected declarations: `struct alloc_context`, `struct node`, `enum compact_priority`, `enum compact_result`, `function compact_gap`, `function current_is_kcompactd`, `function reset_isolation_suitable`, `function kcompactd_run`, `function compaction_register_node`, `function compaction_unregister_node`.

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.
