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/fs.h

Detected Declarations

• struct romfs_super_block
• struct romfs_inode

Annotated Snippet

	__be32 word0;
	__be32 word1;
	__be32 size;
	__be32 checksum;
	char name[];		/* volume name */
};

/* On disk inode */

struct romfs_inode {
	__be32 next;		/* low 4 bits see ROMFH_ */
	__be32 spec;
	__be32 size;
	__be32 checksum;
	char name[];
};

Annotation

• Immediate include surface: `linux/types.h`, `linux/fs.h`.
• Detected declarations: `struct romfs_super_block`, `struct romfs_inode`.
• 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.
