I also saw the crash happening with my PCIe passthrough series (not
upstreamed)
[PATCH v10 0/8] [PATCH v10 0/8] KVM PCIe/MSI passthrough on ARM/ARM64:
kernel part 1/3: iommu changes  https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/6/7/676

patch [PATCH v10 8/8] iommu/arm-smmu: get/put the msi cookie
also uses iommu_put_dma_cookie

and the uninitialised lock crash happens if the group gets destroyed
before the iommu_dma_init_domain is called, which can also happen for me.

Cant' we allow the granule check also with UNMANAGED type?

Thanks
