[PATCH] mm/Kconfig: allow user to select MIGRATION if MEMORY_FAILURE is enabled

From: Xie Yuanbin

Date: Wed Aug 12 2026 - 05:27:38 EST


Currently, memory-failure can be enabled without migration. However,
migration cannot be selected by user when memory-failure is enabled.

Migration is very useful for soft_offline_page(), which may be triggered
by correctable memory errors. Most of the anonymous or file-mapping
faulty pages can be migrated to other healthy pages.

Allow user to select MIGRATION if MEMORY_FAILURE is enabled.
Also, select MIGRATION by default if MEMORY_FAILURE is enabled.
