Again… What kernel is this for? The current code was introduced in Linux 5.16, and looks like this:

static int decode_op_map(struct xdr_stream *xdr, struct nfs4_op_map *op_map)
{
        if (xdr_stream_decode_uint32_array(xdr, op_map->u.words,
                                           ARRAY_SIZE(op_map->u.words)) < 0)
                return -EIO;
        return 0;
}

It does not have the problem you keep trying to report, and you patch doesn’t apply.
