Why This File Exists
Repeatable hardware-adapter layer. Deep compatibility for every driver is out of scope; this atlas records patterns, probe lifecycles, bus glue, IRQ/DMA usage, and links back to core abstractions.
- Repeatable hardware-adapter layer. Deep compatibility for every driver is out of scope; this atlas records patterns, probe lifecycles, bus glue, IRQ/DMA usage, and links back to core abstractions.
- Touches IRQ or DMA behavior; this matters for the representative real-device path.
- Allocates kernel memory; connect allocation flags and lifetime to context constraints.
- Defines or uses C structs; map object ownership, embedded links, reference counts, and lock ownership.

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `linux/dma-direction.h`, `asm/page.h`.
- Detected declarations: `struct device`, `struct vm_area_struct`, `struct sg_table`, `struct snd_dma_device`, `struct snd_dma_buffer`, `enum snd_dma_sync_mode`, `function snd_sgbuf_aligned_pages`, `function snd_dma_alloc_pages`, `function snd_dma_buffer_sync`, `function snd_devm_alloc_pages`.
- Atlas domain: Driver Families / include/sound.
- Implementation status: source implementation candidate.
- IRQ or DMA behavior appears here, which is relevant to the selected PCIe/NVMe device path.
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.
