The container_of() inside __iommufd_object_alloc_ucmd() covers that:
#define container_of(ptr, type, member) ({ \
void *__mptr = (void *)(ptr); \
static_assert(__same_type(*(ptr), ((type *)0)->member) || \ <<==
here
__same_type(*(ptr), void), \
"pointer type mismatch in container_of()"); \
((type *)(__mptr - offsetof(type, member))); })

Criteria is "that aren't protected by any lock" mentioned in the
line 2. The ioas has an ioas_creation_lock around finalize() :(
