Why This File Exists

Shared kernel service surface used by multiple subsystems, including helpers, cryptography, virtualization support, and async I/O infrastructure.

• Shared kernel service surface used by multiple subsystems, including helpers, cryptography, virtualization support, and async I/O infrastructure.
• Exports symbols or registers init work; inspect boot/module ordering and who consumes the exported contract.

Dependency Surface

• crypto/nh.h
• linux/export.h
• linux/kernel.h
• linux/module.h
• linux/unaligned.h
• nh.h

Detected Declarations

• function nh_arch
• function nh
• function nh_mod_init
• function nh_mod_exit
• module init nh_mod_init
• export nh

Annotated Snippet

Annotation

• Immediate include surface: `crypto/nh.h`, `linux/export.h`, `linux/kernel.h`, `linux/module.h`, `linux/unaligned.h`, `nh.h`.
• Detected declarations: `function nh_arch`, `function nh`, `function nh_mod_init`, `function nh_mod_exit`, `module init nh_mod_init`, `export nh`.
• Atlas domain: Kernel Services / lib.
• Implementation status: integration 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.
