Yes, agreed. How about making the comments like this:

/**
 * iommu_sva_bind_device() - Bind a process address space to a device
 * @dev: the device
 * @mm: the mm to bind, caller must hold a reference to mm_users
 *
 * Create a bond between device and address space, allowing the device to
 * access the mm using the pasid returned by iommu_sva_get_pasid(). If a
 * bond already exists between @device and @mm, an additional internal
 * reference is taken. The reference will be released when the caller calls
 * iommu_sva_unbind_device().

Storing the handle in the domain looks odd. Conceptually an iommu domain
represents a hardware page table and the SVA handle represents a
relationship between device and the page table for a consumer. It's
better to make them separated.

In a separated series, probably we can discuss the possibility of
removing handle from the driver APIs. Just simply return the sva domain
instead.

struct iommu_domain *iommu_sva_bind_device(struct device *dev,
                                           struct mm_struct *mm);
void iommu_sva_unbind_device(struct device *dev,
                             struct iommu_domain *domain);
u32 iommu_sva_get_pasid(struct iommu_domain *domain);

If you think it's appropriate, I can send out the code for discussion.

I am sorry that after your review, the SVA domain and attach/detach
device pasid interfaces have undergone some changes. They mainly exist
in the following patches. Can you please help to take a look.

iommu/sva: Refactoring iommu_sva_bind/unbind_device()
arm-smmu-v3/sva: Add SVA domain support
iommu: Add IOMMU SVA domain support
iommu: Add attach/detach_dev_pasid iommu interfaces
