The encode_fh() interface is a little confusing. (Not your fault,
really, mainly it's the return value (and the special use of 255) that I
always find odd.)

But maybe it would help to have a little more documention in the
export_encode_fh() kerneldoc comment and/or in
Documentation/filesystems/nfs/Exporting?
