This patchset is a try to resolve the problem of tracking shared page
for fsdax.

Change from v1:
- Intorduce ->block_lost() for block device
- Support mapped device
- Add 'not available' warning for realtime device in XFS
- Rebased to v5.10-rc1

This patchset moves owner tracking from dax_assocaite_entry() to pmem
device, by introducing an interface ->memory_failure() of struct
pagemap. The interface is called by memory_failure() in mm, and
implemented by pmem device. Then pmem device calls its ->block_lost()
to find the filesystem which the damaged page located in, and call
->storage_lost() to track files or metadata assocaited with this page.
Finally we are able to try to fix the damaged data in filesystem and do
other necessary processing, such as killing processes who are using the
files affected.

The call trace is like this:
memory_failure()
pgmap->ops->memory_failure() => pmem_pgmap_memory_failure()
gendisk->fops->block_lost() => pmem_block_lost() or
md_blk_block_lost()
sb->s_ops->storage_lost() => xfs_fs_storage_lost()
xfs_rmap_query_range()
xfs_storage_lost_helper()
mf_recover_controller->recover_fn => \
memory_failure_dev_pagemap_kill_procs()

The collect_procs() and kill_procs() are moved into a callback which
is passed from memory_failure() to xfs_storage_lost_helper(). So we
can call it when a file assocaited is found, instead of creating a
file list and iterate it.

The fsdax & reflink support for XFS is not contained in this patchset.

(Rebased on v5.10-rc1)

Shiyang Ruan (6):
fs: introduce ->storage_lost() for memory-failure
blk: introduce ->block_lost() to handle memory-failure
md: implement ->block_lost() for memory-failure
pagemap: introduce ->memory_failure()
mm, fsdax: refactor dax handler in memory-failure
fsdax: remove useless (dis)associate functions
