Why This File Exists

Networking stack implementation surface: socket APIs, protocol dispatch, packet flow, routing, filtering, and network namespaces.

• Networking stack implementation surface: socket APIs, protocol dispatch, packet flow, routing, filtering, and network namespaces.
• Defines or uses C structs; map object ownership, embedded links, reference counts, and lock ownership.

Dependency Surface

• linux/skbuff.h

Detected Declarations

• struct crypto_ahash
• struct ah_data
• struct ip_auth_hdr

Annotated Snippet

struct ah_data {
	int			icv_full_len;
	int			icv_trunc_len;

	struct crypto_ahash	*ahash;
};

struct ip_auth_hdr;

static inline struct ip_auth_hdr *ip_auth_hdr(const struct sk_buff *skb)
{
	return (struct ip_auth_hdr *)skb_transport_header(skb);
}

Annotation

• Immediate include surface: `linux/skbuff.h`.
• Detected declarations: `struct crypto_ahash`, `struct ah_data`, `struct ip_auth_hdr`.
• Atlas domain: Networking Core / Sockets, Protocols, Packet Path, And Network Policy.
• 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.
