OK, some number of these would be expected with knfsd, especially if the server is
heavily loaded. The filehandle used by knfsd includes the dentry pointer, which
allows a fast lookup if the dentry is still in memory. But if the dentry has been
released, knfsd will do a fresh lookup and return a filehandle using the new
dentry pointer. So whether a new filehandle is returned depends on the average
dentry lifetime on the server.
Both client and server operate correctly in either case.
