When processing an NFSv4 WRITE operation, argp->end should never point past the end of the data in the final page of the page list. Otherwise, nfsd4_decode_compound can walk into uninitialized memory. More critical, nfsd4_decode_write is failing to increment argp->pagelen when it increments argp->pagelist. This can cause later xdr decoders to assume more data is available than really is, which can cause server crashes on malformed requests.
