OK, I've did this against v6.5.5:

```
git log --oneline HEAD~3..
7c1e7695ca9b8 (HEAD -> test) Revert "mm: remove struct pagevec"
8f2ad53b6eac6 Revert "mm: remove check_move_unevictable_pages()"
fa1e3c0b5453c Revert "drm: convert drm_gem_put_pages() to use a folio_batch"
```

then rebooted the host multiple times, and the issue is not seen any more.

So I guess 3291e09a463870610b8227f32b16b19a587edf33 is the culprit.

Thanks.
