Subject: Gneneric Netlink: can two kernel modules register under one family?

Hi,

I plan to use Gneneric Netlink as a messaging bus for endpoints of my
system. Endpoints are kernel modules and user space daemons. Generic
Netlink is designed to accommodate multiple user space processes under
one family, but what if I need multiple kernel modules, too? Is it
feasible? Will genl_register_family() work if called for the same
family from two different kernel modules?

Thanks,

Sergiy.
