What is the MTU of Tegra234 and NFS server? Are they both 1500?

Could you please try attached patch to confirm if this regression is
fixed?

If the attached patch fixes this regression, and so it seems to be a
cache coherence issue specific to Tegra234, since this patch avoid
memcpy and the page buffers may be modified by upper network stack of
course, then cache lines of page buffers may become dirty. But by
reverting this patch, cache lines of page buffers never become dirty,
this is the core difference.
