There is a possible deadlock between unbind() and the fault handler:

unbind() iopf_handle_group()
mutex_lock(&group->mutex)
iommu_detach_device_pasid()
iopf_queue_flush_dev() iommu_get_domain_for_dev_pasid_async()
... waits for IOPF work mutex_lock(&group->mutex)

I was wrong in my previous review: we do have a guarantee that the SVA
domain does not go away during IOPF handling, because unbind() waits for
pending faults with iopf_queue_flush_dev() before freeing the domain (or
for Arm stall, knows that there are no pending faults). So we can just get
rid of domain->async_users and the group->mutex in IOPF, I think?

Thanks,
Jean
