The iommu_group_store_type() requires the devices in the iommu group are
not bound to any device driver during the whole operation. The existing
code locks the device with device_lock(dev) and use device_is_bound() to
check whether any driver is bound to device.
In fact, this can be achieved through the DMA ownership helpers. Replace
them with iommu_group_claim/release_dma_owner() helpers.

I don't get it, this should be done unconditionally. If we couldn't
take ownership then we simply can't progress.
But there is more to it than that, a device that is owned should not
be release and to achieve this the general logic around the owner
scheme assumes that a driver is attached.
So if you call it from this non-driver context you have to hold the
group_mutex as previously discussed, which also means this needs to be
an externally version of iommu_group_claim_dma_owner()

The existing code allows the user to switch the default domain from
strict to lazy invalidation mode. The default domain is not changed,
hence it should be seamless and transparent to the device driver.

Sorry! What does "an externally version of
iommu_group_claim_dma_owner()" mean?
My understanding is that we should limit iommu_group_claim_dma_owner()
use in the driver context. For this non-driver context, we should not
use iommu_group_claim_dma_owner() directly, but hold the group->mutex
and check the group->owner_cnt directly:
mutex_lock(&group->mutex);
if (group->owner_cnt) {
ret = -EPERM;
goto unlock_out;
}
the group->mutex should be held until everything is done.

So make that a special case, get the group lock check if it is this
case and then just adjust it and exit, otherwise get ownership under
the group lock as discussed.

Yes, that would be fine as long as we can hold the group mutex
throughout

Is there real usage relying on this transition for a bound device?
In concept strict->lazy transition implies relaxed DMA security. It's hard
to think of a motivation of doing so while the device might be doing
in-fly DMAs.
Presumably such perf/security tradeoff should be planned way before
binding device/driver together.
btw if strict->lazy is allowed why lazy->strict is prohibited?

I guess you two meant the same thing.

We all know, strict vs. lazy is a tradeoff between performance and
security.
strict -> lazy: driver works in secure mode. This transition trades off
security for better performance.
lazy->strict: The driver is already working in non-safety mode. This
transition only results in worse performance. It makes no sense. If user
want to put the driver in a secure mode, they need to unbind the driver,
reset the device and do the lazy->strict transition.
Robin might have better insights.

Yes, this was added for a definite use-case in ChromeOS, where
strict->lazy needs to support being done "live" since the device in
question is the storage controller for the already-mounted root
filesystem. Your reasoning seems to match what I summarised in the
original commit message :)
