Annotated Snippet
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only
/// If list_for_each_entry, etc complete a traversal of the list, the iterator
/// variable ends up pointing to an address at an offset from the list head,
/// and not a meaningful structure. Thus this value should not be used after
/// the end of the iterator.
//#False positives arise when there is a goto in the iterator and the
//#reported reference is at the label of this goto. Some flag tests
//#may also cause a report to be a false positive.
///

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.
