Currently users have to choose a free snapshot id before calling DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW. This is potentially racy and inconvenient. Make the DEVLINK_ATTR_REGION_SNAPSHOT_ID optional and try to allocate id automatically. Send a message back to the caller with the snapshot info. Example use: $ devlink region new netdevsim/netdevsim1/dummy netdevsim/netdevsim1/dummy: snapshot 1 $ id=$(devlink -j region new netdevsim/netdevsim1/dummy | \ jq '.[][][][]') $ devlink region dump netdevsim/netdevsim1/dummy snapshot $id [...] $ devlink region del netdevsim/netdevsim1/dummy snapshot $id v4: - inline the notification code v3: - send the notification only once snapshot creation completed. v2: - don't wrap the line containing extack; - add a few sentences to the docs.
