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,
