It would be called vsmmu_lock

This looks reasonable

The set/unset ops have the major issue that they can get out of sync
with the domain. The only time things should be routed to the viommu
is when a viommu related domain is attached.

The lock on attach can be reduced:

  iommu_group_mutex_assert(dev)
  if (domain->type == IOMMU_DOMAIN_NESTED)
 		new_vsmmu = to_smmu_domain(domain)->vsmmu;
  else
 		new_vsmmu = NULL;
  if (new_vsmmu != master->vsmmu) {
 	down_write(&master->lock);
	master->vsmmu = new_vsmmu;
	up_write(&master->lock);
  }

And you'd stick this in prepare or commit..

I'm not sure the vdev pointer should even be visible to the drivers..

It is the xa_lock and some rules about flushing irqs and work queues
before allowing the dev to disappear:

The iopf detatch function will act as a barrirer to ensure that all
the async work has completed, sort of like how RCU works.

But here, I think it is pretty simple, isn't it?

When you update the master->vsmmu you can query the vsmmu to get the
vdev id of that master, then store it in the master struct and forward
it to the iommufd_viommu_report_irq(). That could even search the
xarray since attach is not a performance path.

Then it is locked under the master->lock
