Shouldn't this check if dax_dev->holder_ops != NULL before dereferencing
it for the function call? Imagine an implementation that wants to
attach a ->notify_failure function to a dax_device, maintains its own
lookup table, and decides that it doesn't need to set holder_data.
(Or, imagine someone who writes a garbage into holder_data and *boom*)
How does the locking work here? If there's a media failure, we'll take
dax_rwsem and call ->notify_failure. If the ->notify_failure function
wants to access the pmem to handle the error by calling back into the
dax code, will that cause nested locking on dax_rwsem?
Jumping ahead a bit, I think the rmap btree accesses that the xfs
implementation performs can cause xfs_buf(fer) cache IO, which would
trigger that if the buffers aren't already in memory, if I'm reading
this correctly?

I guess this means that the holder has to detach itself before anyone
calls kill_dax, or else a dead dax device ends up with a dangling
reference to the holder?

Shouldn't size be u64 or something? Let's say that 8GB of your pmem go
bad, wouldn't you want a single call? Though I guess the current
implementation only goes a single page at a time, doesn't it?

Not sure why this is being added here? AFAICT none of the patches call
this function...?
