Refer to [ https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/17/231 ],Andrea said " The clear of the real present bit during pmd (virtual) splitting is done with pmdp_invalidate, that is created specifically to keeps pmd_trans_huge=true, pmd_present=true despite the present bit is not set. ". So it's wrong to clear _PAGE_PRESENT,because this will make pmd_present=false.
On the other hand, There is no need to clear dirty flag too.
Thanks.
