If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit ece01f584b5c50b8b187a17b7cf786fcba2184c5 Author: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jul 17 15:12:07 2023 -0300 iommufd: Fix locking around hwpt allocation [ Upstream commit 31422dff187b243c58f3a97d16bbe9e9ada639fe ] Due to the auto_domains mechanism the ioas->mutex must be held until the hwpt is completely setup by iommufd_object_abort_and_destroy() or iommufd_object_finalize(). This prevents a concurrent iommufd_device_auto_get_domain() from seeing an incompletely initialized object through the ioas->hwpt_list. To make this more consistent move the unlock until after finalize.
