syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference at reiserfs_security_init() [1], for commitab17c4f021("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 commit6cb4aff0a7("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.
