Thank you for finding this issue!  I think the David suggested subject[1] is

I think we could add below Fixes: and Cc: tags?

Fixes: 57223ac29584 ("mm/damon/paddr: support the pageout scheme")
Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # 5.16.x

on it?

Also, let's remove the braces for the single statements[3].
