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
    superblock 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.

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*)
My mistake. I should check @holder_ops instead of @holder_data.
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?
Won't for now.  I have tested it with my simple testcases.
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 didn't think of this case.  But I think this uses read lock too.  It 
won't be blocked.  Only dax_set_holder() takes write lock.

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?
Yes.

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?
Right.

Not sure why this is being added here?  AFAICT none of the patches call
this function...?
It's mistake when I rebase my code to the latest.  These lines were 
deleted but I didn't notice.  Will fix it.
