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.

/*
* INET An implementation of the TCP/IP protocol suite for the LINUX
* operating system. INET is implemented using the BSD Socket
* interface as the means of communication with the user level.
*
* INET protocol dispatch tables.
*
* Authors: Ross Biro
* Fred N. van Kempen, <waltje@uWalt.NL.Mugnet.ORG>
*
* Fixes:
* Alan Cox : Ahah! udp icmp errors don't work because
* udp_err is never called!
* Alan Cox : Added new fields for init and ready for
* proper fragmentation (_NO_ 4K limits!)
* Richard Colella : Hang on hash collision
* Vince Laviano : Modified inet_del_protocol() to correctly
* maintain copy bit.

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.
