On which tree do you see a problem ?

For example net-next seems fine to me :


static inline int skb_copy_to_page_nocache(struct sock *sk, char __user *from,
                                           struct sk_buff *skb,
                                           struct page *page,
                                           int off, int copy)
{
        int err;

        err = skb_do_copy_data_nocache(sk, skb, from, page_address(page) + off,
                                       copy, skb->len);
        if (err)
                return err;

        skb->len             += copy;
        skb->data_len        += copy;
        skb->truesize        += copy;
        sk->sk_wmem_queued   += copy;
        sk_mem_charge(sk, copy);
        return 0;
}
