[PATCH] mm/memory-failure: not select MEMORY_ISOLATION

From: Xie Yuanbin

Date: Mon Sep 22 2025 - 10:36:25 EST


We added that "select MEMORY_ISOLATION" in commit ee6f509c3274 ("mm:
factor out memory isolate functions").
However, in commit add05cecef80 ("mm: soft-offline: don't free target
page in successful page migration") we remove the need for it,
where we removed the calls to set_migratetype_isolate() etc.

What CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE soft-offline support wants is migrate_pages()
support. But that comes with CONFIG_MIGRATION.
And isolate_folio_to_list() has nothing to do with CONFIG_MEMORY_ISOLATION.

Therefore, we can remove "select MEMORY_ISOLATION" of MEMORY_FAILURE.

Enables code to recover from some memory failures on systems
with MCA recovery. This allows a system to continue running
even when some of its memory has uncorrected errors. This requires
special hardware support and typically ECC memory.
