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/netfilter.h

Detected Declarations

• struct xt_connlimit_data
• struct xt_connlimit_info

Annotated Snippet

struct xt_connlimit_info {
	union {
		union nf_inet_addr mask;
#ifndef __KERNEL__
		union {
			__be32 v4_mask;
			__be32 v6_mask[4];
		};
#endif
	};
	unsigned int limit;
	/* revision 1 */
	__u32 flags;

	/* Used internally by the kernel */
	struct nf_conncount_data *data __attribute__((aligned(8)));
};

#endif /* _XT_CONNLIMIT_H */

Annotation

• Immediate include surface: `linux/types.h`, `linux/netfilter.h`.
• Detected declarations: `struct xt_connlimit_data`, `struct xt_connlimit_info`.
• 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.
