It is assumed that the hugetlbfs_vfsmount[] array will contain either a valid vfsmount pointer or NULL for each hstate after initialization. Changes made while converting to use fs_context broke this assumption. While fixing the hugetlbfs_vfsmount issue, it was discovered that init_hugetlbfs_fs never did correctly clean up when encountering a vfs mount error. It was found during code inspection. A small memory allocation failure would be the most likely cause of taking a error path with the bug. This is unlikely to happen as this is early init code.

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.
