We do check for a bad block during namespace init and that use region bad block list. We need to initialize the bad block for volatile regions for this to work. We also observe a lockdep warning as below because the lock is not initialized correctly since we skip bad block init for volatile regions. INFO: trying to register non-static key. the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation. turning off the locking correctness validator.

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 Restructured Text 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.
