Re: Adding new protocol to linux.

Hi,
Header files under include/net are for kernel internal use.
Header files under include/uapi are for exposure to userspace:

I think this has been already tried in the following code.

http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.h#L36

http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/linux/socket.h#L239

The challenge is to expose this development specific header file to userspace.
The following document talks about that.
