Fan Yong [off-list ref] noticed setting
FMODE_32bithash wouldn't work with nfsd v4, as
nfsd4_readdir() checks for 32 bit cookies. However, according to RFC 3530
cookies have a 64 bit type and cookies are also defined as u64 in
'struct nfsd4_readdir'. So remove the test for >32-bit values.
Wow, thanks, I wonder where that check came from.  Looks like it was
there since the very first nfsv4 commit.
Even for the "very first nfsv4 commit" it sounds like a stupid bug.
Probably a copy/paste from V2 code. What about V3, does V3 code have
this bug?
I didn't read it carefully, but on a quick skim I don't see any similar
checks.

Not only that, but I don't see them in any historical versions either.

So somebody went out of their way to do that check.  Hm.
