While experimenting with region driver loading the following backtrace was triggered: INFO: trying to register non-static key. the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation. turning off the locking correctness validator. [..] Call Trace: dump_stack+0x85/0xcb register_lock_class+0x571/0x580 ? __lock_acquire+0x2ba/0x1310 ? kernfs_seq_start+0x2a/0x80 __lock_acquire+0xd4/0x1310 ? dev_attr_show+0x1c/0x50 ? __lock_acquire+0x2ba/0x1310 ? kernfs_seq_start+0x2a/0x80 ? lock_acquire+0x9e/0x1a0 lock_acquire+0x9e/0x1a0 ? dev_attr_show+0x1c/0x50 badblocks_show+0x70/0x190 ? dev_attr_show+0x1c/0x50 dev_attr_show+0x1c/0x50 This results from a missing successful call to devm_init_badblocks() from nd_region_probe(). Block attempts to show badblocks while the region is not enabled. Fixes: 6a6bef90425e ("libnvdimm: add mechanism to publish badblocks...")
