Return error in case that happens. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar --- Pierre, I don't think this will fix the issue you were facing but might supress it :).. And so you need to understand what causes your ->get() to return zero. @Rafael: I got to these patches while looking at code recently after Pierre complained about.
