Syzkaller reports a null-ptr-deref bug as follows:
======================================================
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]

======================================================

According to commit
ac369cdd9448("vfs: parse: deal with zero length string value"),
kernel will sets the param->string to null pointer in
vfs_parse_fs_string() if fs string has zero length.

Yet the problem is that, hugetlbfs_parse_param() will
dereference the param->string, without checking whether it
is a null pointer. To be more specific, if hugetlbfs_parse_param()
parses an illegal mount parameter, such as "size=,", kernel will
constructs struct fs_parameter with null pointer in
vfs_parse_fs_string(), then passes this struct fs_parameter to
hugetlbfs_parse_param(), which triggers the above
null-ptr-deref bug.

This patch solves it by adding sanity check on param->string
in hugetlbfs_parse_param().

Thank you!

This was on my list of things to look at.

Do you know if the issue existed before commit ac369cdd9448?  Just
wondering if we need a Fixes tag and stable backports.

I'll take a closer look at the patch a bit later, unless someone beats
me to it.

This issue did not exist before commit ac369cdd9448, because kernel will
sets param->string a string(although a zero length string) by kmemdup_nul()
when fs string has zero length in vfs_parse_fs_string(). So it will ensures
that param->string is not a null pointer in hugetlbfs_parse_param().

I also revert commit ac369cdd9448 or reset to ac369cdd9448~, and test
the syzkaller reproducer. The reproducer does not trigger any issue
in both situations.

Ian Kent's "vfs: parse: deal with zero length string value" exists only
in mm-nonmm-unstable.  I'm hoping that it gets some attention from Al
Viro.

I'll merge this patch so we're ready for Ian's patch.  I normally merge
mm-stable ahead of mm-nonmm-stable so there shouldn't be a bisection
window.

Ian, could you please go through the filesystems and see if there are
other instances of this getting ready to bite us?

At the bad_val label we have,

bad_val:
        return invalfc(fc, "Bad value '%s' for mount option '%s'\n",
                      param->string, param->key);

param->string still is NULL.  But, I assume the logging can handle this.
In the case of printk, a NULL pointer comes out as '(null)'.

Thanks again,
