I see. fileid seems to be stat.ino on nfsd4. inode->i_ino is actually
just a hash key of inode hash (exception is only in audit, iirc).

So, what happens if we set "stat->ino = i_pos" on fat_getattr().

int fat_getattr(struct vfsmount *mnt, struct dentry *dentry, struct kstat *stat)
{
	struct inode *inode = dentry->d_inode;
	generic_fillattr(inode, stat);
	stat->blksize = MSDOS_SB(inode->i_sb)->cluster_size;
	if (opts->nfs == FAT_NFS_LIMITED) {
		/* Use i_pos for ino. This is used as fileid of nfs. */
		stat->ino = MSDOS_SB(inode->i_sb)->i_pos;
	}
	return 0;
}
