I filed a bug report for this:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204939

A quick work around is to run on the clients, after the NFS mounts:

for f in $(awk '/^v[0-9]/ { print $4 }' < /proc/fs/nfsfs/volumes); do
     echo 4 > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/$f/read_ahead_kb
done

Btw the mail title is wrong, the workaround above causes the netboot
traffic to drop from e.g. 1160MB to 221MB in any network speed;
it was just more observable in lower speeds.

Thank you very much,
Alkis Georgopoulos
