Ususually I only see it shortly after mount, and only once, but I too can 
reproduce it with NFStest ([0], and there's a Fedora package too) via 
"nfstest_cache --server $SERVER --client `hostname`", which then produces 
a couple of these messages:

FS-Cache: Duplicate cookie detected
FS-Cache: O-cookie c=000000002fcc866b [p=00000000c10c6e18 fl=222 nc=0 na=1]
FS-Cache: O-cookie d=00000000d5ed73bb n=00000000076c9150
FS-Cache: O-key=[10] '040002000801c0a80073'
FS-Cache: N-cookie c=00000000e8d5dcd4 [p=00000000c10c6e18 fl=2 nc=0 na=1]
FS-Cache: N-cookie d=00000000d5ed73bb n=00000000a54e9705
FS-Cache: N-key=[10] '040002000801c0a80073'


...and the O-key does indeed seem to resemble the server address, 
somewhat:

 >>> s = "040002000801c0a80073";
 >>> bytes = ["".join(x) for x in zip(*[iter(s)]*2)]; bytes = [int(x, 16) for x in bytes]; print ".".join(str(x) for x in reversed(bytes))
 115.0.168.192.1.8.0.2.0.4
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Mount options on that client are:

$ mount | grep nfs4
nfs:/usr/local/src on /usr/local/src type nfs4 (ro,relatime,vers=4.2,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.56.139,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.0.115)

...so FS-Cache ("fsc") isn't even used here. The server in that scenario 
is a current Fedora 29 installation.

HTH,
Christian.
