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.
- Defines or uses C structs; map object ownership, embedded links, reference counts, and lock ownership.
Dependency Surface
- No C-style include directives detected by the generator.
Detected Declarations
- No top-level syscall, struct, function, initcall, or export declaration detected by the generator.

menu "Core Netfilter Configuration"
depends on INET && NETFILTER
config NETFILTER_INGRESS
bool "Netfilter ingress support"
default y
select NET_INGRESS
help
This allows you to classify packets from ingress using the Netfilter
infrastructure.
config NETFILTER_EGRESS
bool "Netfilter egress support"
default y
select NET_EGRESS
help
This allows you to classify packets before transmission using the
Netfilter infrastructure.

config NETFILTER_NETLINK_HOOK
tristate "Netfilter base hook dump support"
depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
depends on NF_TABLES
select NETFILTER_NETLINK
help
If this option is enabled, the kernel will include support
to list the base netfilter hooks via NFNETLINK.
This is helpful for debugging.
config NETFILTER_NETLINK_ACCT
tristate "Netfilter NFACCT over NFNETLINK interface"
depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
select NETFILTER_NETLINK
help
If this option is enabled, the kernel will include support
for extended accounting via NFNETLINK.
config NETFILTER_NETLINK_QUEUE
tristate "Netfilter NFQUEUE over NFNETLINK interface"
depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
select NETFILTER_NETLINK
help
If this option is enabled, the kernel will include support
for queueing packets via NFNETLINK.
config NETFILTER_NETLINK_LOG
tristate "Netfilter LOG over NFNETLINK interface"
default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
select NETFILTER_NETLINK
help
If this option is enabled, the kernel will include support
for logging packets via NFNETLINK.

Annotation
- Atlas domain: Networking Core / Sockets, Protocols, Packet Path, And Network Policy.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
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.
