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.

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.
