Fair enough.

Patch description did explain it to some extent. ("The PASID is released in
__mmdrop()"). May be this needs to be expanded to cover why pasid is not
released in iommu_sva_unbind_device().

Sorry. Looks like confused you. Looking into code I got this.

My question was: when PASID is enabled, is there any chance of mm_pasid_drop()
getting called before freeing all SVA domains?
