Let's try to have a consistent and clear strategy for error handling during domain attach failures. There are two broad categories, the first is callers doing destruction and trying to set the domain back to a previously good domain. These cases cannot handle failure during destruction flows and must succeed, or at least avoid a UAF on the current group->domain which is likely about to be freed. Many of the drivers are well behaved here and will not hit the WARN_ON's or a UAF, but some are doing hypercalls/etc that can fail unpredictably and don't meet the expectations. The second case is attaching a domain for the first time in a failable context, failure should restore the attachment back to group->domain using the above unfailable operation. Have __iommu_group_set_domain_internal() execute a common algorithm that tries to achieve this, and in the worst case, would leave a device "detached" or assigned to a global blocking domain. This relies on some existing common driver behaviors where attach failure will also do detatch and true IOMMU_DOMAIN_BLOCK implementations that are not allowed to ever fail. Name the first case with __iommu_group_set_domain_nofail() to make it clear. Pull all the error handling and WARN_ON generation into __iommu_group_set_domain_internal(). Avoid the obfuscating use of __iommu_group_for_each_dev() and be more careful about what should happen during failures by only touching devices we've already touched.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
