[PATCH 1/4] iommu/sva: Set handle->dev before the SVA handle is visible

From: Shuai Xue

Date: Sun Jul 26 2026 - 03:44:12 EST


iommu_attach_device_pasid() installs the new SVA attach handle in the
group PASID lookup before iommu_sva_bind_device() returns. A concurrent
bind can therefore find and reuse the same handle after iommu_sva_lock is
dropped.

handle->dev was initialized after dropping iommu_sva_lock. This leaves a
window where a racing bind can return a handle whose dev pointer is still
NULL. A subsequent iommu_sva_unbind_device() can then dereference it via
handle->dev->iommu_group.

Initialize handle->dev before releasing iommu_sva_lock so any visible SVA
handle is fully initialized.
