All these macros are specific to pagemap_scan_ioctl() and should be
namespaced accordingly, e.g. PM_SCAN_BITS_ALL, PM_SCAN_BITMAP etc.

Also, IS_<opname>_OP() will be more readable as PM_SCAN_OP_IS_<opname> and
I'd suggest to open code IS_WP_ENGAGE_OP() and IS_GET_OP() and make
HAS_NO_SPACE() and IS_WT_REQUIRED() static inlines rather than macros.

And I'd also make IS_GET_OP() more explicit by defining a PAGEMAP_WP_GET or
similar flag rather than using arg->vec.

Please don't save on empty lines. Empty lines between logical pieces
improve readability.

I'd split argument validation into a separate function and split the OR'ed
conditions into separate if statements, e.g

bool pm_scan_args_valid(struct pagemap_scan_arg *arg)
{
if (IS_GET_OP(arg)) {
if (!arg->return_mask)
return false;
if (!arg->required_mask && !arg->anyof_mask && !arg->excluded_mask)
return false;
}

/* ... */

return true;
}
