It is not replace if you do remove first.

Replace must just call set_dev_pasid and nothing much else..

Seems uneasy to do it so far. The VT-d driver needs to get the old domain first in order to do replacement. However, VT-d driver does not track the
attached domains of pasids. It gets domain of a pasid
by iommu_get_domain_for_dev_pasid(). Like
intel_iommu_remove_dev_pasid)
in link [1]. While the iommu layer exchanges the domain in the
group->pasid_array before calling into VT-d driver. So when calling into
VT-d driver, the domain got by iommu_get_domain_for_dev_pasid() is
already
the new domain. To solve it, we may need to let VT-d driver have its
own tracking on the domains. How about your thoughts? @Jason, @Kevin,
@Baoplu?

Jason's point was that the core helper should directly call set_dev_pasid
and underlying iommu driver decides whether atomic replacement
can be implemented inside the callback. If you first remove in the core
then one can never implement a replace semantics.

yeah, I got Jason's point. I'm raising an open to make the set_dev_pasid
callback to handle domain replacement. The existing intel iommu driver
does not track attached domains for pasid. But it's needed to know the
attached domain of a pasid and find the dev_pasid under the domain, hence
be able to clean up the old attachment and do the new attachment. Existing
code cannot work as I mentioned above. The group->pasid_xarray is updated
before calling set_dev_pasid callback. This means the underlying iommu
driver cannot get the old domain in the set_dev_pasid callback by the
iommu_get_domain_for_dev_pasid() helper.

As above, I'm considering the possibility to track attached domains for
pasid by an xarray in the struct device_domain_info. Hence, intel iommu
driver could store/retrieve attached domain for pasids. If it's
replacement, the set_dev_pasid callback could find the attached domain and
the dev_pasid instance in the domain. Then be able to do detach and clean
up the tracking structures (e.g. dev_pasid).

Maintaining the same data structure in both core and individual iommu
drivers seems to be duplicate effort. It appears that what you want here
is just to get the currently used domain in the set_dev_pasid path. Is
it possible to adjust the core code so that the pasid array is updated
after the driver's set_dev_pasid callback returns success?
