literal zero is the end of the string.
So the code checks for resize= and not resize=0.
I think your fix is wrong because it would also recognize resize=0123
because it only tests the first character.
- if (!resize || !*resize) {
+ if (!resize || !*resize || *resize=='0')
It should probably be
+ if (!resize || !*resize || (*resize=='0' && !resize[1]))
Or better: check the integer value that is returned by simple_strtoull.
But did you test what resize= does?

Good catch! I'm embarrassed that I didn't see that.
As for "resize=", it seems to fail. Probably because it doesn't match
the "resize=%u" pattern:
root@tesla:~# mount -o remount,resize= /mnt
mount: /mnt not mounted already, or bad option
Someone posted a patch the other day that supposedly handles both
"resize=0" and "resize" alone..I believe by simply adding it to the
pattern list.
