In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: endpoint: Fix configfs group list head handling
Doing a list_del() on the epf_group field of struct pci_epf_driver in
pci_epf_remove_cfs() is not correct as this field is a list head, not
a list entry. This list_del() call triggers a KASAN warning when an
endpoint function driver which has a configfs attribute group is torn
down:
==================================================================

Remove this incorrect list_del() call from pci_epf_remove_cfs().
