I think we also need to initialize ->drv_module here.

Hi Nilay,

I am just coming back to this now. About NVMe multipath delayed disk removal, did you consider a blktests testcase to cover it? I might look at it if I have a chance (and it makes sense to do so).


That look patently like the 'queue_if_no_path' feature from dm-multipath. Any chance of reconciling these two?

Cheers,

Hannes
