               ret = iommu_get_msi_cookie(domain->domain,

                       goto out_detach;
+             domain->msi_cookie = true;
       }

why not moving to alloc_attach_domain() then no need for the new
domain field? It's required only when a new domain is allocated.

When reusing an existing domain that doesn't have an msi_cookie,
we can do iommu_get_msi_cookie() if resv_msi is found. So it is
not limited to a new domain.

Looks msi_cookie requirement is per platform (currently only
for smmu. see arm_smmu_get_resv_regions()). If there is
no mixed case then above check is not required.

But let's hear whether Robin has a different thought here.

Yes, the cookie should logically be tied to the lifetime of the domain itself. In the relevant context, "an existing domain that doesn't have an msi_cookie" should never exist.

Thanks,
Robin.
