Let's make this more user-friendly:
if (WARN_ONCE(*cpa->vaddr & ~PAGE_MASK, "Misaligned address: 0x%lx\n", *cpa->vaddr))
*cpa->vaddr &= PAGE_MASK;

So if we fail (ret != 0) we do WBINVD unconditionally even if we don't
have to?
Don't you want this instead:
ret = __change_page_attr_set_clr(cpa, 1);
if (ret)
goto out;
/* Check whether we really changed something */
if (!(cpa->flags & CPA_FLUSHTLB))
goto out;
/*
* On success we use CLFLUSH, when the CPU supports it to
* avoid the WBINVD.
*/
if (static_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_CLFLUSH))
cpa_flush_range(addr, numpages, 1);
else
cpa_flush_all(1);
out:
return ret;
}
