 The bug is not tmpfs specific. The problem is reproducible with any
 filesystem using vfs_scanopt and the standard mount command
 (/sbin/mount).  For most of filesystems which use vfs_scanopt the
 problem doesn't show up because they use custom mount commands which
 ensure the parameter validity.
 
 The bug should be fixed in kernel because (n)mount system call shouldn't
 make kernel panic.
