Thanks, this addresses my main concern that this new capability is needed
otherwise DAX regresses the survivability of the kernel when removing a
device from underneath the mounted filesystem compared to removing a
non-DAX capable block device.

I don't understand why this is not paired with a freeze in
xfs_dax_notify_failure_freeze()?

This comment is not adding any value. It would be better if it clarified
why why want_shutdown will be false in the pre-remove case?

Maybe a comment:

/*

 * present, but its removal is in progress and can not be cancelled,
 * proceed with accessing the log device.

This problably wants a comment like:

/*
