I've seen some pynfs test regressions in mainline (v6.5-rc5-ish)
kernels. Here's one failing test:

_text =3D b'write data' # len=3D10

[...]

def testSimpleWrite2(t, env):
    """WRITE with stateid=3Dzeros changing size

    FLAGS: write all
    DEPEND: MKFILE
    CODE: WRT1b
    """
    c =3D env.c1
    c.init_connection()
    attrs =3D {FATTR4_SIZE: 32, FATTR4_MODE: 0o644}
    fh, stateid =3D c.create_confirm(t.word(), attrs=3Dattrs,
                                   deny=3DOPEN4_SHARE_DENY_NONE)
    res =3D c.write_file(fh, _text, 30)
    check(res, msg=3D"WRITE with stateid=3Dzeros changing size")
    res =3D c.read_file(fh, 25, 20)
    _compare(t, res, b'\0'*5 + _text, True)

This test writes 10 bytes of data (to a file at offset 30, and then does
a 20 byte read starting at offset 25. The READ reply has NULs where the
written data should be

The patch that broke things is this one:

    5df5dd03a8f7 sunrpc: Use sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES) rather then sendpage

This patch fixes the problem and gets the test run "green" again. I
think we will probably want to send this patch to mainline for v6.5, but
it'd be good to understand what's broken and how this fixes it.

Do you (or David) have any insight?

It'd also be good to understand whether we also need to fix UDP. pynfs
is tcp-only, so I can't run the same test there as easily.
