Would you mind elaborating why arm_smmu_get_id_from_invs() can't
return vsmmu->vmid to share with a naked S2 STE?
A "naked" S2 domain doesn't have a pointer to the vsmmu, so it is
impossible to get vsmmu->vmid.
An S2 parent domain should be per VM. And a vSMMU on top of an S2
should be per SMMU. So, it could have stored a list of vSMMUs and
device attaching to a naked S2 could match its master->smmu with
vSMMU->smmu in the list?
That would cause lifecycle problems if the vSMMU is destroyed
while the nake S2 is still attached and trying to use the vSMMU's
VMID.
Well, if vSMMU code does the same get-build-merge in vsmmu_init()
and build-unref in vsmmu_destroy(), VMID is basically managed by
the invalidation array. Yes, a naked S2 attachment would still use
the shared VMID, but I think that's fine for a nesting parent?

That being said, the implementation isn't going to be as clean as
your approach.
