Jean, another quick question about the iommu_sva_bind_device()

/**
* iommu_sva_bind_device() - Bind a process address space to a device
* @dev: the device
* @mm: the mm to bind, caller must hold a reference to it
* @drvdata: opaque data pointer to pass to bind callback

This interface requires the caller to take a reference to mm. Which
reference should it take, mm->mm_count or mm->mm_users? It's better to
make it explicit in this comment.

Agreed, it's mm_users as required by mmu_notifier_register()

Thanks! I will add this in my refactoring patch.

Best regards,
