I agree it does not matter but still will hpte->shift = 0 too be better?

sorry did not understand in these conditions why

hugetlb_pte_size(hpte) >= PGDIR_SIZE. I mean why >= check

and not just == check?

just for cosistency something like above?

if (hugetlb_pte_huge(hpte))
+		return huge_pte_clear
;
