We don't have mixed-driver systems, and there are plenty more significant problems than this one to solve before we can (but thanks for pointing it out - I hadn't got as far as auditing the public interfaces yet). Once domains are allocated via a particular device's IOMMU instance in the first place, there will be ample opportunity for the core to stash suitable identifying information in the domain for itself. TBH even the current code could do it without needing the weirdly invasive changes here.

Store the iommu_ops pointer in the iommu_domain and use it as a check to
validate that the struct device is correct before invoking any domain op
that accepts a struct device.

In fact this even describes exactly that - "Store the iommu_ops pointer in the iommu_domain", vs. the "Store the iommu_ops pointer in the iommu_domain_ops" which the patch is actually doing :/

Nope, dev_iommu_ops(dev) please. Furthermore I think the logical place to put this is in iommu_group_do_attach_device(), since that's the gateway for the public interfaces - we shouldn't need to second-guess ourselves for internal default-domain-related calls.

Thanks,
Robin.
