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.
- Touches IRQ or DMA behavior; this matters for the representative real-device path.
- Defines or uses C structs; map object ownership, embedded links, reference counts, and lock ownership.

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `linux/types.h`, `linux/compiler.h`, `linux/if.h`, `linux/netfilter_arp.h`, `linux/netfilter/x_tables.h`.
- Detected declarations: `struct arpt_devaddr_info`, `struct arpt_arp`, `struct arpt_entry`, `struct arpt_getinfo`, `struct arpt_replace`, `struct arpt_get_entries`.
- Atlas domain: Core OS / Core Kernel Interface.
- 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.
