Description

Currently, subnet allocation is done manually in omicron_nexus::app::rack::Nexus::add_sled_to_initialized_rack inside rust code, outside CRDB. However, this means that concurrent add sled operations will fail due to reusing allocations. We can avoid this problem via the use of the next_item helper

Research direction

Start in omicron_nexus::app::rack::Nexus::add_sled_to_initialized_rack, where subnet allocation is currently performed in Rust. Read the next_item CTE helper in nexus/db-queries/src/db/queries/next_item.rs and trace how it can be used for this allocation. Done means concurrent add-sled operations no longer reuse subnet allocations.
