Do you keep adding files to the directory while you move files out?
Yes, otherwise there are too many files in the directory and viewers, e.g.,
each geeqie (picture viewer) will use > 4-6GB of memory, so I try to keep
it around 5,000 pictures or less.
What's the rate of additions/removals to the directory?
Additions it depends, around 5,000 over a 12hr period, 416/hr, current:
atom:/d1/motion# find cam1|wc
5215 5215 166853
atom:/d1/motion# find cam2|wc
5069 5069 162181
atom:/d1/motion# find cam3|wc
5594 5594 178981
atom:/d1/motion#
This sounds a lot like xfs simply filling up the directory index slots
of files that you just moved out with new files, and nfs falsely
claiming that this is a problem.
Any chance to figure out if the file you hit the printk with was one
that got either recently added or moved when you hit it? (I can't
follow the nfs code enough to check if it prints the first or second hit
of the same cookie)
It seems to happen across all directories, these are from the past 24 hours.

Interestingly, I have two machines that perform this function, both XFS and it
only affects the client running 2.6.38:
$ df -h
2.6.38 - Has a kernel driver that was removed in 2.6.39 (rt2870sta) which
works really well.
atomw:/d1 30G 13G 18G 43% /nfs/atomw/d1
2.6.39:
d630w:/d1 75G 2.6G 72G 4% /nfs/d630w/d1
However, to rule out any kernel issues I'll try 3.0 and see if the problem recurs with a newer version as it is _NOT_ happening with 2.6.39 (similar setup) on both; however:
d630 => 32bit installation (core2duo t7500)
atomw => 64-bit atom
