Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `linux/ioctl.h`, `linux/types.h`.
- Detected declarations: `struct mnt_ns_info`, `struct nsfs_file_handle`, `struct ns_id_req`, `enum init_ns_ino`, `enum init_ns_id`, `enum ns_type`.
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / tools.
- Implementation status: source implementation candidate.
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.
