Because we need to find out which file is effected by the given poison page so that memory-failure code can do collect_procs() and kill_procs() jobs. 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.
This is the call trace I described in cover letter:
memory_failure()
* fsdax case
pgmap->ops->memory_failure() => pmem_pgmap_memory_failure()
dax_device->holder_ops->corrupted_range() =>
- fs_dax_corrupted_range()
- md_dax_corrupted_range()
sb->s_ops->currupted_range() => xfs_fs_corrupted_range() <== **HERE**
xfs_rmap_query_range()
xfs_currupt_helper()
* corrupted on metadata
try to recover data, call xfs_force_shutdown()
* corrupted on file data
try to recover data, call mf_dax_kill_procs()
* normal case
mf_generic_kill_procs()
As you can see, this new added operation is an important for the whole progress.
