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.
- 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.

/* -------------------------------------------------------------------------
* struct rlb_client_info contains all info related to a specific rx client
* connection. This is the Clients Hash Table entry struct.
* Note that this is not a proper hash table; if a new client's IP address
* hash collides with an existing client entry, the old entry is replaced.
*
* There is a linked list (linked by the used_next and used_prev members)
* linking all the used entries of the hash table. This allows updating
* all the clients without walking over all the unused elements of the table.
*
* There are also linked lists of entries with identical hash(ip_src). These
* allow cleaning up the table from ip_src<->mac_src associations that have
* become outdated and would cause sending out invalid ARP updates to the
* network. These are linked by the (src_next and src_prev members).

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `linux/if_ether.h`.
- Detected declarations: `struct bonding`, `struct slave`, `struct tlb_client_info`, `struct rlb_client_info`, `struct tlb_slave_info`, `struct alb_bond_info`.
- Atlas domain: Networking Core / Sockets, Protocols, Packet Path, And Network Policy.
- 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.
