Sounds good. Thanks for letting us know.

Hmm, from what I can see, the replay cache is used for both UDP and
TCP in the regular NFS server. If I'm correct on that, any retry of
an RPC over TCP could cause the leak. (Retries of an RPC over TCP
are infrequent, with the likelyhood differing between clients. I
can only guess that your TCP clients do retries?)
