h > &hstates[hugetlb_max_hstate] means that h is out of bounds, no? am
I missing something here?

So is this intending to do:

if (h == hstates[hugetlb_max_hstate]
    return PAGE_SHIFT;

? If so, could we write it as so?

I'm also wondering why __shift_for_hstate(hstate[hugetlb_max_hstate])
== PAGE_SHIFT? Isn't the last hstate the smallest hstate which should
be 2MB on x86? Shouldn't this return PMD_SHIFT in that case?
