[RFC PATCH v6] mm, pmem, xfs: Introduce MF_MEM_REMOVE for unbind

From: ruansy.fnst@xxxxxxxxxxx
Date: Thu Jul 14 2022 - 06:34:51 EST


This patch is inspired by Dan's "mm, dax, pmem: Introduce
dev_pagemap_failure()"[1]. With the help of dax_holder and
->notify_failure() mechanism, the pmem driver is able to ask filesystem
(or mapped device) on it to unmap all files in use and notify processes
who are using those files.

Call trace:
trigger unbind
-> unbind_store()
-> ... (skip)
-> devres_release_all() # was pmem driver ->remove() in v1
-> kill_dax()
-> dax_holder_notify_failure(dax_dev, 0, U64_MAX, MF_MEM_PRE_REMOVE)
-> xfs_dax_notify_failure()

Introduce MF_MEM_PRE_REMOVE to let filesystem know this is a remove
event. So do not shutdown filesystem directly if something not
supported, or if failure range includes metadata area. Make sure all
files and processes are handled correctly.

==
Changes since v5:
1. Renamed MF_MEM_REMOVE to MF_MEM_PRE_REMOVE
2. hold s_umount before sync_filesystem()
3. move sync_filesystem() after SB_BORN check
4. Rebased on next-20220714

Changes since v4:
1. sync_filesystem() at the beginning when MF_MEM_REMOVE
2. Rebased on next-20220706
