I mean with this union, hwpt->auto_domain or hwpt->ioas should only be accessed if and
only if hwpt type is kernel-managed.
So, any unconditional access, as in iommufd_hw_pagetable_put() pasted below, is buggy.

Therefore, do you think it's better to add a filed like "bool kernel_managed : 1",
and access the union fields under  /* kernel-managed */ only when hwpt->kernel_managed
is true.

auto_domain is under union fields marked with kernel-managed only.
Access it without type checking is invalid.

struct iommufd_hw_pagetable {
        struct iommufd_object obj;
        struct iommu_domain *domain;

        void (*abort)(struct iommufd_object *obj);
        void (*destroy)(struct iommufd_object *obj);

        bool user_managed : 1;
        union {
                struct { /* user-managed */
                        struct iommufd_hw_pagetable *parent;
                };
                struct { /* kernel-managed */
                        struct iommufd_ioas *ioas;
                        struct mutex mutex;
                        bool auto_domain : 1;
