Well, the workload is a crazed twisty conflicting operations set in a very limited
namespace (called racer.sh,
http://git.whamcloud.com/fs/lustrerelease.git/tree/refs/heads/master:/lustre/tests/racer )

It does all sorts of crazy unimaginable stuff that is hard to predict, and typically I
run it on several mountpoints all pointing to the same spot
(now 3-ways: one instance on direct mount point in ext4, one on nfs mount mounted as
mount -o nfs and one on mount -o nfs4).
It must be hitting some rare race or a race + operations combination that leads to
the leak.

To reproduce I run it like this until it stops (and it usually stops in
2 or 3 iterations, so it takes some time):
$ cat ~/stress.sh
#!/bin/bash

set -x

cd /home/green/git/lustre-release/lustre/tests/racer
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/loop bs=1024k count=1024
mkfs.ext4 /tmp/loop
service rpcbind start
mount none /var/lib/nfs -t tmpfs
touch /var/lib/nfs/etab
service nfs-mountd start

while :; do

mount /tmp/loop /mnt/lustre -o loop || exit 1
mkdir /mnt/lustre/racer
service nfs-server start || exit 2
mount localhost:/mnt/lustre /mnt/nfs -t nfs -o nolock || exit 3
mount localhost:/ /mnt/nfs2 -t nfs4 || exit 4
DURATION=3600 sh racer.sh /mnt/nfs/racer &
DURATION=3600 sh racer.sh /mnt/nfs2/racer &
DURATION=3600 sh racer.sh /mnt/lustre/racer &
wait %1 %2 %3
umount /mnt/nfs || exit 5
umount /mnt/nfs2 || exit 6
service nfs-server stop || exit 7
umount /mnt/lustre || exit 8
e2fsck -n -f /tmp/loop || exit 9
done

Please ignore all the Lustre references, the test is generic, it's just I am running
off nfs-readonly-root setup, so want to reuse existing mountpoint locations,
there's no Lustre in picture here).
With all the other problems from before fixed, now it typically stops either for
this leak discussed here, or for this other problem in nfs4 I described here:
