Just realize the error unwind is a nop given below:

__iommu_group_set_domain()
{
	if (group->domain == new_domain)
		return 0;

	...

There was an attempt [1] to fix error unwind in iommu_attach_group(), by
temporarily set group->domain to NULL before calling set_domain().

Jason, I wonder why this recovering cannot be done in
__iommu_group_set_domain() directly, e.g.:

	ret = __iommu_group_for_each_dev(group, new_domain,
					  iommu_group_do_attach_device);
	if (ret) {
		__iommu_group_for_each_dev(group, group->domain,
					  iommu_group_do_attach_device);
		return ret;
	}
	group->domain = new_domain;

Thanks,
Kevin
