commit 62176420274db5b5127cd7a0083a9aeb461756ee upstream. As each option string fragment is always prepended with a comma it would happen that the whole string always starts with a comma. This could be interpreted by filesystem drivers as an empty option and may produce errors. For example the NTFS driver from ntfs.ko behaves like this and fails when mounted via the new API.

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.
