will moving the below hunk in front of iommu_domain_free() simpler?
Only when (--domain->users == 0), shall the code check if sva_domains
is empty. right?

I am not sure if this can be moved in front of iommu_domain_free(). Will iommu_domain_free() be possible to impact sva_domains?

sva_domains is used to track domains associated with the same mm in the
generic layer. iommu_domain_free() calls vendor iommu driver's free() op
with domain type specific operations. I don't think it should impact the
sva_domains.

iommu_domain_free() calls domain->ops->free(). Could this call back free sva_domain?

I think so. Check intel_mm_free_notifier() as an example.
