If this warn stays:

s/dev_warn/dev_warn_ratelimited/

The kernel prints hashed addresses for %p, so I'm not sure printing
@addr is useful or @bytes because there is nothing actionable that can
be done with that information in the log. @pgoff is probably the only
variable worth printing (after converting to bytes or sectors) as that
might be able to be reverse mapped back to the impacted data.

This looks like dev_dbg() to me, or at minimum the same
dev_warn_ratelimited() print as the one above to just indicate a write
to the device at the given offset failed.

Same feedback here, these should probably all map to the identical
error exit ratelimited print.

It occurs to me that all callers of this are arriving through the
fsdax iomap ops and all of these callers take an exclusive lock to
prevent simultaneous access to the inode. If recovery_write() is only
used through that path then this lock is redundant. Simultaneous reads
are protected by the fact that the badblocks are cleared last. I think
this can wait to add the lock when / if a non-fsdax access path
arrives for dax_recovery_write(), and even then it should probably
enforce the single writer exclusion guarantee of the fsdax path.
