Fail the load instead. For two reasons: 1) We could be loading to test this explicitly. null_blk isn't a regular driver, it's not like we're bringing up the system on this thing. Hence I feel it's more important that it loads with what we asked for, or not load at all. 2) If initializing one tag set fails, the unshared case will surely fail too. -- Jens Axboe
