[PATCH v2 01/11] accel/rocket: search every core slot when a core is removed

[Igor Paunovic <royalnet026@gmail.com>]

rocket_remove() decrements rdev->num_cores for each core it removes,
while find_core_for_dev() searches slots 0 to num_cores - 1. Unbinding
the cores in the order they were bound therefore loses the last one: by
the time it is removed the search range has already shrunk past its
slot, so find_core_for_dev() returns -1 and rocket_remove() gives up
without doing anything.

num_cores never reaches zero, rocket_device_fini() never runs, and the
file-scoped rdev keeps pointing at a device that is going away. Binding
the cores again starts from that stale count, because rocket_probe()
takes rdev->num_cores as the slot to fill. On an RK3588, which describes
three cores, the second round lands on slots 1, 2 and 3 while rdev->cores
was allocated with room for three:

  rocket fdab0000.npu: Rockchip NPU core 1 version: 1179210309
  rocket fdac0000.npu: Rockchip NPU core 2 version: 1179210309
  rocket fdad0000.npu: Rockchip NPU core 3 version: 1179210309

The write to rdev->cores[3] is past the end of the array.

Nothing in tree reads the core array often enough to notice, so the
overrun is silent today. It turned up while testing a devfreq series on
top of this, where a worker walks every core a few times a second, and
UBSAN caught the first bool it read out of the overrun entry:

  UBSAN: invalid-load in drivers/accel/rocket/rocket_devfreq.c:47:10
  load of value 5 is not a valid value for type '_Bool'
  Workqueue: devfreq_wq devfreq_monitor

Record how many slots were allocated and search all of them. Every core
is then found on removal, num_cores reaches zero, the device is torn down
and a later bind starts from a clean rdev.

This does not make unbinding a single core out of several work: probe
still takes num_cores as the slot to fill, and rocket_open() still
reaches for cores[0] whether or not anything is there. The fourth patch
takes care of both.

Found by unbinding and rebinding all three cores on an Orange Pi 5 Plus.
With this applied the cores land in slots 0, 1 and 2 every time, whichever
order they are bound in, and the shared supply goes back to a single user
after each round.

Two paragraphs changed from the standalone posting, which this series
supersedes: the one on unbinding a single core now points at patch 4
instead of saying what is left, and the round counts are dropped from
the last one. Posting:

The two Tested-by tags are from that thread. The round counts were
taken on a kernel that carried the use-after-free fixed in 8/11; they
were re-measured with the whole series applied, see the notes on patch
4 and the cover letter. The single-core unbind and rocket_open() cases
in that paragraph are 2/2 of the lifecycle series, now rebased into
this one as patch 4:
