Running Linux v5.0 with this patch applied does indeed still produce the 
"Duplicate cookie detected" messages, but I only ever see wrq=0 when 
running nfstest_cache: 

   https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/dkav0FQzYZxE9-V7GphjAQ

(Scroll down until the messages start to appear again)

Only the n= field seems to change during that test:


fedora0# grep wrq n2.log  | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
     28 Acquire: n=8 nul=0 noc=0 ok=1 nbf=0 oom=0 wrq=0
     29 Acquire: n=7 nul=0 noc=0 ok=1 nbf=0 oom=0 wrq=0
     34 Acquire: n=6 nul=0 noc=0 ok=1 nbf=0 oom=0 wrq=0
     82 Acquire: n=9 nul=0 noc=0 ok=1 nbf=0 oom=0 wrq=0
     93 Acquire: n=5 nul=0 noc=0 ok=1 nbf=0 oom=0 wrq=0

HTH,
Christian.
