A quick answer is an IOMMUFD_OBJ_DEVICE being a host physical
device and an IOMMUFD_OBJ_VDEVICE being an IOMMUFD_OBJ_DEVICE
related to IOMMUFD_OBJ_VIOMMU. Two of them can be seen in two
different layers. May refer to this graph:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/userspace-api/iommufd.rst?h=v6.13-rc3#n150

A vIRQ is actually reported per-vIOMMU in this design. Although
in the this series the SMMU driver seems to report a per-device
vIRQ, it internally converts the vDEVICE to a virtual device ID
and packs the virtual device ID into a per-vIOMMU event:
+/**
+ * struct iommu_virq_arm_smmuv3 - ARM SMMUv3 Virtual IRQ
+ * (IOMMU_VIRQ_TYPE_ARM_SMMUV3)
+ * @evt: 256-bit ARM SMMUv3 Event record, little-endian.
+ * (Refer to "7.3 Event records" in SMMUv3 HW Spec)
+ *
+ * StreamID field reports a virtual device ID. To receive a virtual IRQ for a
+ * device, a vDEVICE must be allocated via IOMMU_VDEVICE_ALLOC.
+ */
+struct iommu_virq_arm_smmuv3 {
+ __aligned_le64 evt[4];
};
Thanks
