Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 0/3] devlink: kernel region snapshot id allocation

Hi!

currently users have to find a free snapshot id to pass
to the kernel when they are requesting a snapshot to be
taken.

This set extends the kernel so it can allocate the id
on its own and send it back to user space in a response.

Jakub Kicinski (3):
  devlink: factor out building a snapshot notification
  devlink: let kernel allocate region snapshot id
  docs: devlink: clarify the scope of snapshot id
