It isn't clear what the question is here.  The "dirty page discard" message means that unwritten data from the client was discarded because the client was evicted and the lock covering this data was revoked by the server because the client was not responsive.

Anymore , we exec lfsck on all servers,  result is

There is no need for LFSCK in this case.  The file data was not written, but a client eviction does not result in the filesystem becoming inconsistent.
