Thanks for the report, and apologies for breaking your configuration.
I had missed that sunrpc can dequeue skbs from a udp receive
queue and makes assumptions about the layout of those packets. rxrpc
does the same. From what I can tell so far, those are the only two
protocols that do this. I have verified that the following fixes rxrpc for me

I have not yet been able to reproduce the sunrpc/nfs issue, but I
suspect that the following might fix it. I will try to create an NFS
setup.
