Subject: Re: [PATCH 8/8] iommu: Move default domain allocation to
 iommu_group_get_for_dev()

Hi Joerg,

Looking at this from an SMMU perspective, I think there's an issue
with attaching to the default domain like this.

The call to iommu_group_get_for_dev in arm_smmu_add_device will end up
calling __iommu_attach_device, since group->domain will now be initialised
by the code above. This means the SMMU driver will see an ->attach_dev
call for a device that is part-way through an ->add_device callback and
will be missing the initialisation necessary for us to idenfity the SMMU
instance to which is corresponds. In fact, the iommudata for the group
won't be initialised at all, so the whole thing will fail afaict.

Note that I haven't actually taken this for a spin, so I could be missing
something.
