[Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@intel.com>]

This is a second revision of the previous series to implement the
DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW. The series can be viewed on lore.kernel.org at

This version includes the suggested cleanups from Jakub and Jiri on the
list, including the following changes, broken out by the v1 patch title.

Changes to patches since v1:

 * devlink: prepare to support region operations

   No changes

 * devlink: convert snapshot destructor callback to region op

   No changes

 * devlink: trivial: fix tab in function documentation

   No changes

 * devlink: add function to take snapshot while locked

   Added Jakub's Reviewed-by tag.

 * <NEW> devlink: use -ENOSPC to indicate no more room for snapshots

   New patch added to convert confusing -ENOMEM to -ENOSPC, as suggested by
   Jiri.

 * devlink: extract snapshot id allocation to helper function

   No changes

 * devlink: convert snapshot id getter to return an error

   Changed title to "devlink: report error once U32_MAX snapshot ids have
   been used".

   Refactored this patch to make devlink_region_snapshot_id_get take a
   pointer to u32, so that the error value and id value are separated. This
   means that we can remove the INT_MAX limitation on id values.

 * devlink: track snapshot id usage count using an xarray

   Fixed the xa_init to use xa_init_flags with XA_FLAGS_ALLOC, so that
   xa_alloc can properly be used.

   Changed devlink_region_snapshot_id_get to use an initial count of 1
   instead of 0. Added a new devlink_region_snapshot_id_put function, used
   to release this initial count. This closes the race condition and issues
   caused if the driver either doesn't create a snapshot, or if userspace
   deletes the first snapshot before others are created.

   Used WARN_ON in a few more checks that should not occur, such as if the
   xarray entry is not a value, or when the id isn't yet in the xarray.

   Removed an unnecessary if (err) { return err; } construction.

   Use xa_limit_32b instead of xa_limit_31b now that we don't return the
   snapshot id directly.

   Cleanup the label used in __devlink_region_snapshot_create to indicate the
   failure cause, rather than the cleanup step.

   Removed the unnecessary locking around xa_destroy

 * devlink: implement DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW

   Added a WARN_ON to the check in snapshot_id_insert in case the id already
   exists.

   Removed an unnecessary "if (err) { return err; }" construction

   Use -ENOSPC instead of -ENOMEM when max_snapshots is reached.

   Cleanup label names to match style of the other labels in the file,
   naming after the failure cause rather than the cleanup step. Also fix a
   bug in the label ordering.

   Call the new devlink_region_snapshot_id_put function in the mlx4 and
   netdevsim drivers.

 * netdevsim: support taking immediate snapshot via devlink

   Create a local devlink pointer instead of calling priv_to_devlink
   multiple times.

   Removed previous selftest for devlink region new without a snapshot id,
   as this is no longer supported. Adjusted and verified that the tests pass
   now.

 * ice: add a devlink region for dumping NVM contents

   Use "dev_err" instead of "dev_warn" for a message about failure to create
   the devlink region.
