The fasync_cache grows. Possible leak in kernel 2.6.13.4.

Hi all.

I have trouble with latest stable kernel (2.6.13.4).
I set up samba server on reiserfs and begin to copy a huge number of file.
After one day, the system is very slow and almost not usable.

The slabtop output is here.

I can find the same problem on ext3 fs.
The FC3 latest kernel(2.6.12-1.1378_FC3smp) also.
It seems no difference between UP and SMP.
The problem is not solved even if I stop and restart the samba server.

Please give me your help.
Thanks.
