Why This File Exists

Core operating-system implementation surface: boot, tasks, memory, VFS, syscall-facing interfaces, synchronization, credentials, and isolation.

• Core operating-system implementation surface: boot, tasks, memory, VFS, syscall-facing interfaces, synchronization, credentials, and isolation.
• Defines or uses C structs; map object ownership, embedded links, reference counts, and lock ownership.

Dependency Surface

• linux/types.h
• linux/compiler.h

Detected Declarations

• struct i2c_smbus_ioctl_data
• struct i2c_rdwr_ioctl_data

Annotated Snippet

struct i2c_smbus_ioctl_data {
	__u8 read_write;
	__u8 command;
	__u32 size;
	union i2c_smbus_data __user *data;
};

/* This is the structure as used in the I2C_RDWR ioctl call */
struct i2c_rdwr_ioctl_data {
	struct i2c_msg __user *msgs;	/* pointers to i2c_msgs */
	__u32 nmsgs;			/* number of i2c_msgs */
};

#define  I2C_RDWR_IOCTL_MAX_MSGS	42
/* Originally defined with a typo, keep it for compatibility */
#define  I2C_RDRW_IOCTL_MAX_MSGS	I2C_RDWR_IOCTL_MAX_MSGS

Annotation

• Immediate include surface: `linux/types.h`, `linux/compiler.h`.
• Detected declarations: `struct i2c_smbus_ioctl_data`, `struct i2c_rdwr_ioctl_data`.
• Atlas domain: Core OS / Core Kernel Interface.
• 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.
