Annotated Snippet
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only
/// Many iterators have the property that the first argument is always bound
/// to a real list element, never NULL.
//# False positives arise for some iterators that do not have this property,
//# or in cases when the loop cursor is reassigned. The latter should only
//# happen when the matched code is on the way to a loop exit (break, goto,
//# or return).

Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / scripts.
- 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.
