Ah. Make sense.
Here's my take on this. Looks good?

Subject: [PATCH v6 2/2] selftests/mm: add PAGEMAP_SCAN test for THP PMD holes
Add coverage for the PMD-hole case fixed by "fs/proc/task_mmu: fix
PAGEMAP_SCAN written state for PMD holes": a MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON THP that
is uffd-wp'd and then dropped with MADV_DONTNEED leaves a pmd_none hole
with no page table, which PAGEMAP_SCAN must still report as written.
Factor the populate/drop/scan-both-paths sequence out of
unpopulated_scan_test() into a helper, and add unpopulated_thp_scan_test()
that reuses it with a THP.
Include <linux/mman.h> for MADV_COLLAPSE; <sys/mman.h> lacks it on older
glibc (e.g. 2.34). Same approach as commit fd5295afae91 ("selftests/mm:
hmm-tests: include linux/mman.h to access MADV_COLLAPSE").
