Actual attach sequence is slightly different.

 Inv CPU                            Attach CPU

 write io_pte
  rcu_read_lock
    list_for_each // empty
                                    list_add_rcu()
                                    IOTLB.INVAL(PSCID)
                                    <make description inv cmd>
                                    dma_wmb()
                                    <cmd doorbell>
 rcu_read_unlock

I've tried to cover this case with riscv_iommu_iotlb_inval() called
before the attached domain is visible to the device. This is something
to optimize to avoid invalidating the whole PSCID if the domain was
already attached to the same IOMMU, but I'd leave it for a separate
patch series.

That is a viable option. If you're ok I'll address this as a separate patch=
.
I've been trying to avoid adding more global variables, but it might
not be avoidable.
