In my commit commit d0a712ceb83ebaea32d520825ee7b997f59b168f Author: Wenwei Tao <ww.tao0...@gmail.com> Date: Sat Nov 28 16:49:28 2015 +0100 lightnvm: missing nvm_lock acquire I use the second solution.
We just return. With the system blocks, there might now have been registered a media manager, and that is why it should just give up if nothing is found. On media manager module init, it will then attach appropriately.
