To keep things simple we used to include the uAPI header in the kernel in the #include <linux/$family.h> format. This works well enough, most of the genl families should have headers in include/net/ so linux/$family.h ends up referring to the uAPI header, anyway. And if it doesn't no big deal, we'll just include more info than we need. Unless that is there is a naming conflict. Someone recently created include/linux/psp.h which will be a problem when supporting the PSP protocol. (I'm talking about work-in-progress patches, but it's just a proof that assuming lack of name conflicts was overly optimistic.)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
