It'd be a user space mistake that forgot to call the destroy ioctl
to the object, in which case I recall kernel shouldn't WARN_ON?

It was for our auto destroy feature. If user space forgot to destroy
the object while trying to unplug the device from VM. This saves the
day.

Hmm, mind elaborating? I think the iommufd_fops_release() would
xa_for_each the object list that destroys the vdev object first
then this idev (and viommu too)?

OK. If user space forgot to destroy its vdev while unplugging the
device, it would not be allowed to hotplug another device (or the
same device) back to the same slot having the same RID, since the
RID on the vIOMMU would be occupied by the undestroyed vdev.
If we decide to do so, I think we should highlight this somewhere
in the doc.
