I took a closer look at this patch as part of fixing the typo *ahem*.

The original code is buggy at the limit:

-	if (winid > VAS_WINDOWS_PER_CHIP) {
-		pr_err("Too many (%d) open windows\n", winid);
-		vas_release_window_id(ida, winid);

That permits winid to be == VAS_WINDOWS_PER_CHIP, which is 64 << 10.
Since you then go on to store:

        int id = window->winid;
        vinst->windows[id] = window;

and windows is defined as:

        struct vas_window *windows[VAS_WINDOWS_PER_CHIP];

that's a buffer overflow.

Here's the current version of my patch which will be in linux-next tomorrow.
