The eviction happened because of -107 answer from a client. The client set -107 only when rq_export is null, this means that client didn`t find an export for a request handle.
Possible root cause of the wrong request handle could be a race between pltlrpc_resend_req and lnet re transmit . ptlrpc_resend_req zeroed req handle and ptlrpc_send_rpc set a handle again. If lnet resend request during this two calls, a client receive a request with zero handle.
