Indeed with that commit, present since v5.16-rc1, we are unable to reproduce the issue, so it seems to be the fix. It looks like there are not a lot of 5.15 NFS users out there. ;-)
I believe this is a dependency that was introduced by the back port of commit e591b298d7ec ("NFS: Save some space in the inode") into 5.15.68. So the reason it wasn't seen is because the change is very recent.
Side note: I wonder if that is causing this problem from Kurt as well: https://lore.kernel.org/all/f6755107-b62c-a388-0ab5-0a6633bf9082@garloff.de/
Looks like it: After confirming that the 5.15.69 kernel worked again fine backing out those last three NFS commits, I reapplied them and cherry-picked commit 6e176d47160c as suggested. The kernel worked flawlessly thus far, so this seems to indeed be a requirement for e591b298d7ec not to cause harm. [...] So by all means, Greg, please put this in the stable queue unless the NFS wizards out there consider it safer to revert e591b298d7ec instead.
Already queued up for the next 5.15.y release that will happen in a few hours, thanks for testing.
And -- unsurprisingly -- I can confirm that NFS in 5.15.71 does work again, indeed.
Thanks!
