The problem is that when drm/msm does it's own iommu_attach_device(),
now the domain returned by iommu_get_domain_for_dev() is drm/msm's
domain, and it doesn't have domain->iova_cookie.

Does this crash still happen with 4.20-rc? Because as of 6af588fed391 it really shouldn't.

We kind of avoided this problem prior to sdm845/dpu because the iommu
was attached to the mdp node in dt, which is a child of the toplevel
mdss node (which corresponds to the dev passed in dma_map_sg()). But
with sdm845, now the iommu is attached at the mdss level so we hit the
iommu_dma_ops in dma_map_sg().

But auto allocating/attaching a domain before the driver is probed was
already a blocking problem for enabling per-context pagetables for the
GPU. This problem is also now solved with this patch.

s/solved/worked around/

If you want a guarantee of actually getting a specific hardware context allocated for a given domain, there needs to be code in the IOMMU driver to understand and honour that. Implicitly depending on whatever happens to fall out of current driver behaviour on current systems is not a real solution.

Fixes: 97890ba9289c dma-mapping: detect and configure IOMMU in of_dma_configure

That's rather misleading, since the crash described above depends on at least two other major changes which came long after that commit.

It's not that I don't understand exactly what you want here - just that this commit message isn't a coherent justification for that ;)

This is an alternative/replacement for [1]. What it lacks in elegance
it makes up for in practicality ;-)

Given that a default domain will already have been allocated by the time we get here, regardless of whether we pretend of_iommu_configure() did nothing, I'm puzzled as to how this change is 'solving' that aspect as claimed :/

Is CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_PASSTHROUGH a sufficient workaround for msm at the moment, or do you have other devices which do actually want iommu_dma_ops?

Robin.
