Ok. The issue seems to be quite random in nature and only happens when there
are multiple vCPUs. Also doesn't look like related to VFIO device assignment
as I can reproduce Guest hang without it by only having nested-smmuv3 and
iommufd object.

./qemu-system-aarch64-iommuf -machine virt,gic-version=3,iommu=nested-smmuv3,iommufd=iommufd0 \
-enable-kvm -cpu host -m 1G -smp cpus=8,maxcpus=8 \
-object iommufd,id=iommufd0 \
-bios QEMU_EFI.fd \
-kernel Image-6.2-iommufd \
-initrd rootfs-iperf.cpio \
-net none \
-nographic \
-append "rdinit=init console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/vda rw earlycon=pl011,0x9000000" \
-trace events=events \
-D trace_iommufd 

When the issue happens, no output on terminal as if Qemu is in a locked state.

 Can you try with the followings?

The only trace events with above are this,

iommufd_backend_connect fd=22 owned=1 users=1 (0)
smmu_add_mr smmuv3-iommu-memory-region-0-0

I haven't debugged this further. Please let me know if issue is reproducible 
with multiple vCPUs at your end. For now will focus on VFIO dev specific tests.

Thanks,
