The nfsm_wcc_data() macro calls the nfsm_postop_attr() macro.
The nfsm_postop_attr() macro calls nfsm_loadattrcache() function.
The nfsm_loadattrcache() function calls nfsm_disct() function.

nfsm_disct() is the function in error which drops the mbuf chain.

nfs_subs.c:968 is the line in error:

           do {
                    m2 = m_get(M_WAIT, MT_DATA);
                    MCLAIM(m2, m1->m_owner);
                    if (left >= MINCLSIZE) {
                            MCLGET(m2, M_WAIT);
                    }
                    m2->m_next = *nextp; <-- BUG happens here!!
                    *nextp = m2;
                    nextp = &m2->m_next;
