	bool "Switch (and switch-ish) device support"
	depends on INET
	help
	  This module provides glue between core networking code and device
	  drivers in order to support hardware switch chips in very generic
	  meaning of the word "switch". This include devices supporting L2/L3 but
	  also various flow offloading chips, including switches embedded into
	  SR-IOV NICs.

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.
