Why This File Exists

Networking stack implementation surface: socket APIs, protocol dispatch, packet flow, routing, filtering, and network namespaces.

• Networking stack implementation surface: socket APIs, protocol dispatch, packet flow, routing, filtering, and network namespaces.
• Exports symbols or registers init work; inspect boot/module ordering and who consumes the exported contract.
• Defines or uses C structs; map object ownership, embedded links, reference counts, and lock ownership.

Dependency Surface

• net/dsa_stubs.h

Detected Declarations

• export dsa_stubs

Annotated Snippet

// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later
/*
 * Stubs for DSA functionality called by the core network stack.
 * These are necessary because CONFIG_NET_DSA can be a module, and built-in
 * code cannot directly call symbols exported by modules.
 */
#include <net/dsa_stubs.h>

const struct dsa_stubs *dsa_stubs;
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dsa_stubs);

Annotation

• Immediate include surface: `net/dsa_stubs.h`.
• Detected declarations: `export dsa_stubs`.
• Atlas domain: Networking Core / Sockets, Protocols, Packet Path, And Network Policy.
• 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.
