Why This File Exists
Core operating-system implementation surface: boot, tasks, memory, VFS, syscall-facing interfaces, synchronization, credentials, and isolation.
- Core operating-system implementation surface: boot, tasks, memory, VFS, syscall-facing interfaces, synchronization, credentials, and isolation.
- 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.

* in atomic context because it will indirectly
* acquire sleeping locks. The same is true if the
* current process has a mutex enqueued (blocked on
* a PI chain).
*
* In !RT, it is always safe to call __put_task_struct().
* Though, in order to simplify the code, resort to the
* deferred call too.
*
* call_rcu() will schedule __put_task_struct_rcu_cb()
* to be called in process context.
*
* __put_task_struct() is called when
* refcount_dec_and_test(&t->usage) succeeds.
*
* This means that it can't "conflict" with
* put_task_struct_rcu_user() which abuses ->rcu the same
* way; rcu_users has a reference so task->usage can't be
* zero after rcu_users 1 -> 0 transition.
*
* delayed_free_task() also uses ->rcu, but it is only called
* when it fails to fork a process. Therefore, there is no
* way it can conflict with __put_task_struct().

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `linux/rcupdate.h`, `linux/refcount.h`, `linux/sched.h`, `linux/uaccess.h`.
- Detected declarations: `struct task_struct`, `struct rusage`, `struct css_set`, `struct kernel_clone_args`, `function exit_thread`, `function put_task_struct`, `function put_task_struct_many`, `function arch_thread_struct_whitelist`, `function wait4`, `function task_unlock`.
- Atlas domain: Core OS / Core Kernel Interface.
- 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.
