Okay. Could you please send the userspace patch too in order to see the full picture? > > net/core/devlink.c | 84 ++++++++++++++++--- > .../drivers/net/netdevsim/devlink.sh | 13 +++ > 2 files changed, 84 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) > >diff --git a/net/core/devlink.c b/net/core/devlink.c >index 1ec2e9fd8898..dad5d07dd4f8 100644 >--- a/net/core/devlink.c >+++ b/net/core/devlink.c >@@ -4065,10 +4065,65 @@ static int devlink_nl_cmd_region_del(struct sk_buff >*skb, > return 0; > } > >+static int >+devlink_nl_alloc_snapshot_id(struct devlink *devlink, struct genl_info *info, >+ struct devlink_region *region, u32 *snapshot_id) >+{ >+ struct sk_buff *msg; >+ void *hdr; >+ int err; >+ >+ err = __devlink_region_snapshot_id_get(devlink, snapshot_id); >+ if (err) { >+ NL_SET_ERR_MSG_MOD(info->extack, No need to wrap here. >+ "Failed to allocate a new snapshot id"); >+ return err; >+ } >+ >+ msg = nlmsg_new(NLMSG_DEFAULT_SIZE, GFP_KERNEL); >+ if (!msg) { >+ err = -ENOMEM; >+ goto err_msg_alloc; >+ } >+ >+ hdr = genlmsg_put(msg, info->snd_portid, info->snd_seq, >+ &devlink_nl_family, 0, DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW); >+ if (!hdr) { >+ err = -EMSGSIZE; >+ goto err_put_failure; >+ } >+ err = devlink_nl_put_handle(msg, devlink); >+ if (err) >+ goto err_attr_failure; >+ err = nla_put_string(msg, DEVLINK_ATTR_REGION_NAME, region->ops->name); >+ if (err) >+ goto err_attr_failure; >+ err = nla_put_u32(msg, DEVLINK_ATTR_REGION_SNAPSHOT_ID, *snapshot_id); >+ if (err) >+ goto err_attr_failure; >+ genlmsg_end(msg, hdr); >+ >+ err = genlmsg_reply(msg, info); >+ if (err) >+ goto err_reply; >+ >+ return 0; >+ >+err_attr_failure: >+ genlmsg_cancel(msg, hdr); >+err_put_failure: >+ nlmsg_free(msg); >+err_msg_alloc: >+err_reply: >+ __devlink_snapshot_id_decrement(devlink, *snapshot_id); >+ return err; >+} >+ > static int > devlink_nl_cmd_region_new(struct sk_buff *skb, struct genl_info *info) > { > struct devlink *devlink = info->user_ptr[0]; >+ struct nlattr *snapshot_id_attr; > struct devlink_region *region; > const char *region_name; > u32 snapshot_id; >@@ -4080,11 +4135,6 @@ devlink_nl_cmd_region_new(struct sk_buff *skb, struct >genl_info *info) > return -EINVAL; > } > >- if (!info->attrs[DEVLINK_ATTR_REGION_SNAPSHOT_ID]) { >- NL_SET_ERR_MSG_MOD(info->extack, "No snapshot id provided"); >- return -EINVAL; >- } >- > region_name = nla_data(info->attrs[DEVLINK_ATTR_REGION_NAME]); > region = devlink_region_get_by_name(devlink, region_name); > if (!region) { >@@ -4102,16 +4152,24 @@ devlink_nl_cmd_region_new(struct sk_buff *skb, struct >genl_info *info) > return -ENOSPC; > } > >- snapshot_id = nla_get_u32(info->attrs[DEVLINK_ATTR_REGION_SNAPSHOT_ID]); >+ snapshot_id_attr = info->attrs[DEVLINK_ATTR_REGION_SNAPSHOT_ID]; >+ if (snapshot_id_attr) { >+ snapshot_id = nla_get_u32(snapshot_id_attr); > >- if (devlink_region_snapshot_get_by_id(region, snapshot_id)) { >- NL_SET_ERR_MSG_MOD(info->extack, "The requested snapshot id is >already in use"); >- return -EEXIST; >- } >+ if (devlink_region_snapshot_get_by_id(region, snapshot_id)) { >+ NL_SET_ERR_MSG_MOD(info->extack, "The requested >snapshot id is already in use"); >+ return -EEXIST; >+ } > >- err = __devlink_snapshot_id_insert(devlink, snapshot_id); >- if (err) >- return err; >+ err = __devlink_snapshot_id_insert(devlink, snapshot_id); >+ if (err) >+ return err; >+ } else { >+ err = devlink_nl_alloc_snapshot_id(devlink, info, >+ region, &snapshot_id); >+ if (err) >+ return err; >+ } > > err = region->ops->snapshot(devlink, info->extack, &data); How the output is going to looks like it this or any of the follow-up calls in this function are going to fail?
