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.
• Defines an operation table; this is where Linux turns generic core objects into subsystem-specific behavior.
• Defines or uses C structs; map object ownership, embedded links, reference counts, and lock ownership.

Dependency Surface

• linux/device.h

Detected Declarations

• struct siox_device
• struct siox_driver
• function siox_driver_register
• function siox_driver_unregister

Annotated Snippet

		return NULL;
}

int __siox_driver_register(struct siox_driver *sdriver, struct module *owner);

static inline int siox_driver_register(struct siox_driver *sdriver)
{
	return __siox_driver_register(sdriver, THIS_MODULE);
}

static inline void siox_driver_unregister(struct siox_driver *sdriver)
{
	return driver_unregister(&sdriver->driver);
}

/*
 * module_siox_driver() - Helper macro for drivers that don't do
 * anything special in module init/exit.  This eliminates a lot of
 * boilerplate.  Each module may only use this macro once, and
 * calling it replaces module_init() and module_exit()

Annotation

• Immediate include surface: `linux/device.h`.
• Detected declarations: `struct siox_device`, `struct siox_driver`, `function siox_driver_register`, `function siox_driver_unregister`.
• Atlas domain: Core OS / Core Kernel Interface.
• Implementation status: pattern 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.
