After removing the refcount from the attach handle, I am trying to make
the code look like this,

/* A bond already exists, just take a reference`. */
handle = iommu_attach_handle_get(group, iommu_mm->pasid);
if (handle) {
if (handle->domain->iopf_handler !=
iommu_sva_iopf_handler) {
ret = -EBUSY;
goto out_unlock;
}

refcount_inc(&handle->users);
mutex_unlock(&iommu_sva_lock);
return handle;
}

But it appears that this code is not lock safe. If the domain on the
PASID is not a SVA domain, the check of "handle->domain->iopf_handler !=
iommu_sva_iopf_handler" could result in a use-after-free issue as the
other thread might detach the domain in between the fetch and check
lines.

Probably we still need to keep the refcount in the attach handle?

Best regards,
baolu
