Some failure modes are handled poorly by kublk. For example, if ublk_drv is built as a module but not currently loaded into the kernel, ./kublk add ... just hangs forever. This happens because in this case (and a few others), the worker process does not notify its parent (via a write to the shared eventfd) that it has tried and failed to initialize, so the parent hangs forever. Fix this by ensuring that we always notify the parent process of any initialization failure, and have the parent print a (not very descriptive) log line when this happens.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
