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/module.h
• linux/types.h
• uapi/linux/if_ether.h

Detected Declarations

• struct nf_hook_ops
• struct nf_ct_bridge_info

Annotated Snippet

struct nf_ct_bridge_info {
	struct nf_hook_ops	*ops;
	unsigned int		ops_size;
	struct module		*me;
};

void nf_ct_bridge_register(struct nf_ct_bridge_info *info);
void nf_ct_bridge_unregister(struct nf_ct_bridge_info *info);

#endif

Annotation

• Immediate include surface: `linux/module.h`, `linux/types.h`, `uapi/linux/if_ether.h`.
• Detected declarations: `struct nf_hook_ops`, `struct nf_ct_bridge_info`.
• 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.
