And it needs filesystem to use its rmap feature to search the file from a given offset. So, we need this implemented by the specified filesystem and called by dax_device's holder.

I don't think you need either fs_dax_corrupted_range() nor
sb->s_ops->corrupted_range(). In fact that fs_dax_corrupted_range()
looks broken because the filesystem may not even be mounted on the
device associated with the error. The holder_data and holder_op should
be sufficient from communicating the stack of notifications:
pgmap->notify_memory_failure() => pmem_pgmap_notify_failure()
pmem_dax_dev->holder_ops->notify_failure(pmem_dax_dev) =>
md_dax_notify_failure()
md_dax_dev->holder_ops->notify_failure() => xfs_notify_failure()
I.e. the entire chain just walks dax_dev holder ops.
