A PASID is allocated for an "mm" the first time any thread binds to an SVA-capable device and is freed from the "mm" when the SVA is unbound by the last thread. It's possible for the "mm" to have different PASID values in different binding/unbinding SVA cycles. The mm's PASID (non-zero for valid PASID or 0 for invalid PASID) is propagated to a per-thread PASID MSR for all threads within the mm through IPI, context switch, or inherited. This is done to ensure that a running thread has the right PASID in the MSR matching the mm's PASID.
