The 'error_remove_folio' was introduced in commit
257187362123f15d9d1("HWPOISON: Define a new error_remove_page address
space op for async truncation") to distinguish the error handling
behavior beteween metadata page and data page. Files' datapage will be
truncated if memory error happens during page copy(eg. migration,
mmap_cow). Then several filesystems(with '.migrate_page' implemtented)
supportted it. So, I'm fine with this patch.
