CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY is set inconditionnally, I think you
should
add pageattr.o to obj-y instead. CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_XXX are almost
never
used in Makefiles

Fair enough, will keep that in mind

I forgot I commented that. I'll do it in v3.

Why flush a range for a single page ? On most targets this will do a
tlbia which is heavy, while a tlbie would suffice.

I think flush_tlb_kernel_range() should be replaced by something
flushing only a single page.

You might be able to help me out here, I wanted to do that but the only
functions I could find that flushed single pages needed a
vm_area_struct, which I can't get.

I sent out two patches for that, one for book3s/32 and one for nohash:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1231983/
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1232223/

Maybe one for book3s/64 would be needed as well ? Can you do it if needed ?

Is it worth checking that the action is valid for each page ? I
think
validity of action should be checked in change_memory_attr(). All
other
functions are static so you know they won't be called from outside.

Once done, you can squash __change_page_attr() into
change_page_attr(),
remove the ret var and return 0 all the time.

Makes sense to fold things into a single function, but in terms of
performance it shouldn't make a difference, right?  I still have to
check the action to determine what to change (unless I replace passing
SET_MEMORY_RO into apply_to_page_range() with a function pointer to
pte_wrprotect() for example).

pte_wrprotect() is a static inline.

Use (void*)action instead of &action (see upper comment)

To get this to work I had to use (void *)(size_t)action to stop the
compiler from complaining about casting an int to a void*, is there a
better way to go about it?  Works fine, just looks gross.

Yes, use long instead (see my v3)
