Tetsuo Handa 5e46d1b78a reiserfs: update reiserfs_xattrs_initialized() condition
syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference at reiserfs_security_init()
[1], for commit ab17c4f021 ("reiserfs: fixup xattr_root caching")
is assuming that REISERFS_SB(s)->xattr_root != NULL in
reiserfs_xattr_jcreate_nblocks() despite that commit made
REISERFS_SB(sb)->priv_root != NULL && REISERFS_SB(s)->xattr_root == NULL
case possible.

I guess that commit 6cb4aff0a7 ("reiserfs: fix oops while creating
privroot with selinux enabled") wanted to check xattr_root != NULL
before reiserfs_xattr_jcreate_nblocks(), for the changelog is talking
about the xattr root.

  The issue is that while creating the privroot during mount
  reiserfs_security_init calls reiserfs_xattr_jcreate_nblocks which
  dereferences the xattr root. The xattr root doesn't exist, so we get
  an oops.

Therefore, update reiserfs_xattrs_initialized() to check both the
privroot and the xattr root.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
