Thanks for the report, sorry that you're encountering this breakage.

Makes sense that this commit introduced it

        if (virtio_net_hdr_to_skb(skb, &hdr->hdr,
                                  virtio_is_little_endian(vi->vdev))) {
                net_warn_ratelimited("%s: bad gso: type: %u, size: %u\n",
                                     dev->name, hdr->hdr.gso_type,
                                     hdr->hdr.gso_size);
                goto frame_err;
        }
        
Type 1 is VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_TCPV4

Most likely this application is inserting a packet with flag
VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM and a wrong csum_start. Or is requesting
TSO without checksum offload at all. In which case the kernel goes out
of its way to find the right offset, but may fail.

Which nfs-client is this? I'd like to take a look at the sourcecode.

Unfortunately the kernel warning lacks a few useful pieces of data,
such as the other virtio_net_hdr fields and the packet length.
