+ mm-kconfig-make-memory_failure-select-migration.patch added to mm-new branch

[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The patch titled
     Subject: mm/Kconfig: make MEMORY_FAILURE select MIGRATION
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch.  Its filename is
     mm-kconfig-make-memory_failure-select-migration.patch

This patch will shortly appear at
     https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-kconfig-make-memory_failure-select-migration.patch

This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress
patches, and acceptance into mm-new is a notification for others take
notice and to finish up reviews.  Please do not hesitate to respond to
review feedback and post updated versions to replace or incrementally
fixup patches in mm-new.

The mm-new branch of mm.git is not included in linux-next

If a few days of testing in mm-new is successful, the patch will me moved
into mm.git's mm-unstable branch, which is included in linux-next

Before you just go and hit "reply", please:
   a) Consider who else should be cc'ed
   b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well
   c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
      reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's

*** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code ***

The -mm tree is included into linux-next via various
branches at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
and is updated there most days

Subject: mm/Kconfig: make MEMORY_FAILURE select MIGRATION
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 21:49:16 +0800

For embedded devices, lacking support for NUMA, memory hotplug/hotremove,
CMA and huge pages is a quite common scenario.  In this scenario, the
demand for contiguous physical memory allocation is very low.  To reduce
the kernel image size, some devices disable the compaction.  However,
their SoCs do support DDR ECC, meaning that memory-failure may be needed.

Migration is very useful for soft_offline_page() in memory-failure, which
may be triggered by correctable memory errors.  Most anonymous and
file-mapped faulty pages can be migrated to other healthy pages.

Currently, MEMORY_FAILURE does not explicitly select MIGRATION.  When
COMPACTION, MEMORY_HOTREMOVE, NUMA_MIGRATION and CMA are all disabled,
MEMORY_FAILURE can be enabled, but MIGRATION cannot be selected.

Make MEMORY_FAILURE select MIGRATION to handle this situation.
