Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `linux/jiffies.h`, `net/dst.h`, `net/ip6_fib.h`.
- Detected declarations: `struct dst_cache`, `function dst_cache_reset`.
- 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.
