I don't know why these were resent.

It's conventional (and useful) to include a [0/N] cover letter when
more than a single patch is being sent.  That's the place to tell us
why a new version has been sent.

And please see how people are tracking versioning infomation in the
email subjects.

And it's nice to prepare a Subject: which identifies what part of the
kernel is being altered.  I think the main audience here is those who
are scanning subjects wondering "am I interested in this".

So to sum up, a good title for this patch would have been

Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] selftests/mm: correct __pagemap_scan_get_categories return value
