FYI the problem with these NFS patch is now described in comment #4 of
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217999
which I include below.  They can be reapplied if the "Fix error
handling..." patch is fixed up as described.

FYI the cause of this corruption is that the  backport of
   NFS: Fix error handling for O_DIRECT write scheduling

had an error.
The backported patch f16fd0b11f0f4d41846b5102b1656ea1fc9ac7a0
moves "pos += req_len" in nfs_direct_write_schedule_iovec() from after
    req->wb_index = pos >> PAGE_SHIFT;
to before that statement.  This ->wb_index is wrong.
Possibly a better way to look at this is the use of "pos" is moved to *after* it is updated.

The upstream patch 954998b60caa8f2a3bf3abe490de6f08d283687a
doesn't move the use of pos because
Commit 70e9db69f927 ("NFS: Clean up O_DIRECT request allocation")

removes the use.

v6.1.56 can be fixed with
