damon_get_page() would always increase page _refcount and isolate_lru_page() would increase page _refcount if the page's lru flag is set.
If a unevictable page isolated successfully, there will be two more _refcount. The one from isolate_lru_page() will be decreased in putback_lru_page(), but the other one from damon_get_page() will be left behind. This causes a pin page.
Whatever the case, the _refcount from damon_get_page() should be decreased.
Thank you for finding this issue! I think the David suggested subject[1] is better, though.
I think we could add below Fixes: and Cc: tags?

Seems your patch is not based on mm-unstable tree[2]. Could you please rebase on it?
Also, let's remove the braces for the single statements[3].
