Yes (a) is probably better. The SMMU driver currently implements (c) to ensure that you can't switch device driver without unbinding everything first, and we should keep that check somewhere > > If it is any other option then we have a problem of what to do if the > guest VM asks to change the page table associated with the RID while a > PASID is attached. > > > I'm asking because the SMMU driver is still using smmu_domain to represent > > all address spaces + the non-PASID one, and using the same type > > "iommu_domain" for the new object makes things unreadable.

Changing the API is fine, but someone will need to rework the SMMU driver to align with the new meaning of iommu_domain. I can take a stab if no one volunteers but probably not before next year.
