[dm-devel] [PATCH v5 1/9] pagemap: Introduce ->memory_failure()

[Shiyang Ruan]

When memory-failure occurs, we call this function which is implemented
by each kind of devices.  For the fsdax case, pmem device driver
implements it.  Pmem device driver will find out the filesystem in which
the corrupted page located in.  And finally call filesystem handler to
deal with this error.

The filesystem will try to recover the corrupted data if necessary.
