Vulnerability Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

NFS: Charge unstable writes by request size, not folio size

nfs_folio_mark_unstable() and nfs_folio_clear_commit() charge and
uncharge NR_WRITEBACK/WB_WRITEBACK by folio_nr_pages(folio) once per
*request* added to or removed from a commit list. This is correct only
when a folio has a single associated request. When pg_test splits a
folio into N sub-folio requests (e.g. pNFS flexfiles striping with a
stripe unit smaller than the folio size, or plain wsize-limited
splitting), each of the N requests independently charges the whole
folio's page count, inflating the accounting by a factor of N per
folio. With large folios and small stripe units this reaches multiple
orders of magnitude: a 2 MiB folio split into 512 4 KiB requests can
charge up to 512x its real size, pushing global dirty+writeback
accounting past the system's dirty threshold and forcing every
buffered writer on the host into the hard-throttle path, including
unrelated in-kernel NFS server threads sharing the box.

Charge each request only for the pages it actually covers.
