To easily track filesystem from a pmem device, we introduce a holder for
dax_device structure, and also its operation.  This holder is used to
remember who is using this dax_device:
  - When it is the backend of a filesystem, the holder will be the
    instance of this filesystem.
  - When this pmem device is one of the targets in a mapped device, the
    holder will be this mapped device.  In this case, the mapped device
    has its own dax_device and it will follow the first rule.  So that we
    can finally track to the filesystem we needed.

The holder and holder_ops will be set when filesystem is being mounted,
or an target device is being activated.

I think it is ok to return success (0) for this case. All the caller
of dax_holder_notify_failure() wants to know is if the notification
was successfully delivered to the holder. If there is no holder
present then there is nothing to report. This is minor enough for me
to fix up locally if nothing else needs to be changed.

I thought it could fall back to generic memory failure handler: mf_generic_kill_procs(), if holder_ops not exists.

Isn't this another failure scenario? If kill_dax() is called while a
holder is still holding the dax_device that seems to be another
->notify_failure scenario to tell the holder that the device is going
away and the holder has not released the device yet.

Yes. I should call dax_holder_notify_failure() and then unregister the holder.

It's safe for the holder to assume that it can de-reference
->holder_data freely in its notify_handler callback because
dax_holder_notify_failure() arranges for the callback to run in
dax_read_lock() context.

This is another minor detail that I can fixup locally.

Forgive me if this has been discussed before, but since dax_operations
are in terms of pgoff and nr pages and memory_failure() is in terms of
pfns what was the rationale for making the function signature byte
based?

Maybe I didn't describe it clearly... The @offset and @len here are byte-based. And so is ->memory_failure().

You can find the implementation of ->memory_failure() in 3rd patch:

+static int pmem_pagemap_memory_failure(struct dev_pagemap *pgmap,
+		phys_addr_t addr, u64 len, int mf_flags)
+{
+	struct pmem_device *pmem =
+			container_of(pgmap, struct pmem_device, pgmap);
+	u64 offset = addr - pmem->phys_addr - pmem->data_offset;
+
+	return dax_holder_notify_failure(pmem->dax_dev, offset, len, mf_flags);
+}


I want to get this series merged into linux-next shortly after
v5.18-rc1. Then we can start working on incremental fixups rather
resending the full series with these long reply cycles.


Thanks.  That really helps.
