this function assumes handle is always valid. So above comment
makes it clear that iommufd is the only user and it will always
pass in a valid handle.

but the code in iommu_attach_device_pasid() allows handle to
be NULL. Then that comment is meaningless for it.

Actually, this is why I added the above comment. iommufd can ensure
it would pass valid handle to both iommu_attach_device_pasid() and
iommu_replace_device_pasid(), and iommu_replace_device_pasid() is
only used by iommufd, so iommu_replace_device_pasid() can assume
all the pasids have a valid handle stored in the pasid_array.


Also following patches are built on iommufd always passing in
a valid handle as it's required by pasid operations but there is
no detail explanation why it's mandatory or any alternative
option exists. More explanation is welcomed.

There is more detail about it in the below link, but is it necessary
to add them in the comment as well, or is it ok to add more explanation
in commit message?

Could you elaborate why the PRI path will eventually becomes
consistent with this path?

Because the handle stored in pasid_array would be consistent with the
configuration of pasid. So the PRI would be forwarded to the correct
domain.
