Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: liyouhong <[email protected]>

damon_pa_migrate() and damos_va_migrate() isolate folios into a local list
and then call damon_migrate_pages().  When target_nid is invalid (including
the scheme default NUMA_NO_NODE / -1), damon_migrate_pages() returns early
without putting the folios back to the LRU.

Callers then discard the list head while those folios remain isolated with
an extra reference taken by folio_isolate_lru().  The pages stay off the
LRU for as long as the mapping exists (anon active+inactive counts drop
while RSS does not), and the leftover references can pin the pages after
the mapping is gone.

Put the folios back on the invalid-nid path so ignored migration requests
still return them to the LRU.

v3:
- Drop the 2/2 cleanup patch as suggested; keep open-coded putback only

v2:
- Drop the putback helper for easier stable backport
- Open-code putback only on the invalid-nid path
- Keep the original indentation and Cc stable@
- Add a separate cleanup as 2/2 (factor out damon_putback_folio_list)
