Can you describe exactly what drivers are involved in this? If it is
the above commit then several devices are sharing an iommu group and
one of them (well, the only one already attached, I suppose) has made
the group unsharable.

With grep I don't see an obvious place where the AMDGPU driver would
mess with the iommu configuration, so I have no guess.

It would be good to have some debugging to confirm if it is
group->owner (should be impossible, suggests memory corruption if it
is) or group->domain != group->default_domain.

Most likely it is the later, but I can't see how that could happen on
a system like this.. There is no obvious manipulation in AMDGPU, for
instance.

So debugging to find the backtrace for exactly when 
 group->domain != group->default_domain
Occurs for the troubled group would be necessary.

If you know the group name it would be easy enough to cook a patch to
throw a warn on when group->domain changes

Disabling iommu removes the groups entirely, this disables the check.

driver_managed_dma disables the check entirely - which raises the
question how the driver is even able to work..

If the domain is not the default_domain it is very surprising that DMA
can work at all. Since it does, something really odd has happened.
