Details

A regression introduced in 5.10.11 affecting NFS hit at least one use-case documented here[1]. In short, the regression causes read file errors through libnfs. In my use case, kodi reading data from NFS was unable to read media. Kodi devs will be handling the upstream bug report.

After bisecting, the offensive commit is 00ee972739fb2526d3936f1e7ccfc8c91d250c60. I built our 5.10.12-1 kernel package reverting the offending commit which restored functionality. I opened this task to get eyes on this sooner than later.

[1] The link to linux-nfs for the backport to 5.10 and [2] link for the original commit.
Not sure if the commit should not have been backported or if the original commit is the issue you would need to test 5.11-rc4+

I did not see the revert in the stable queue for 5.10.13, https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git/tree/queue-5.10

Has upstream been notified and agreed it should be reverted?
Have you check 5.11-rc4+ to see if 4a85a6a3320b4a622315d2e0ea91a1d2b013bce4 should be reverted before 5.11 is released?

Linus just merged this (likely) fix from the Chuck Lever in the nfs group into his branch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=17fbcdf9f163e6c404c65bb8c17cd8d7338cc3e7

Upstream: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux.git/commit/?h=nfsd-5.11-3&id=bad4c6eb5eaa8300e065bd4426727db5141d687d

I suspect it will be backported to stable soon.

@javmorin - I applied https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux.git/commit/?h=nfsd-5.11-3&id=bad4c6eb5eaa8300e065bd4426727db5141d687d to our 5.10.13 package and it seems to fix the original issue. Thanks for posting. Hopefully it gets back ported soon.

In stable queue for 5.10.15: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git/tree/queue-5.10/sunrpc-fix-nfs-reads-that-start-at-non-page-aligned-.patch

Probably safe to close this ticket.
