This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
PCI: endpoint: Fix kernel panic after put_device()to the 4.16-stable tree which can be found at:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git%3Ba=su...
The filename of the patch is: pci-endpoint-fix-kernel-panic-after-put_device.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.16 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.
This patch is the 2nd one of a series of patches. If you want to add it to the stable tree without the first patch, you must add a
kfree(func_name);before returning from the function.
The upstream commit of the first patch is 36cc14ac14c0d49d33820a82dab52a7edc802fef PCI: endpoint: Simplify name allocation for EPF device
Thanks for letting me know, I'll just drop this patch as without the first one, this isn't needed and isn't an issue, right?
thanks,

It is still an issue (even without the first one!), but it will only occur on PCI endpoints when setting the devicename or adding the device fails. Therefore I think you can drop this patch for the stable series.
Thanks for confirming this.
