That will make us miss dirty or young flags of a CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb page for those functions that want to check the dirty or young flags of a hugetlb page. For example, the gather_hugetlb_stats() will get inaccurate dirty hugetlb page statistics, and the DAMON for hugetlb monitoring will also get inaccurate access statistics. To fix this issue, this patch set introduces an ARM64 specific huge_ptep_get() implementation, which will take into account any subpages' dirty or young bits.
