Could you try out 2.1.89-4 that I just made available on ftp.kernel.org? It should fix the problem another way that I'm happier with (fixing that problem also revealed a few other misuses of close_fp() due to historical reasons - the uses really needed to be "fput()"s instead).
2.1.89-4 also uses "struct file" for mmap's, which means that the problem that somebody was complaining about with mmap (that the mapping would exist even after the last "release()" on that file, and thus the file would still be active) are gone. As of -4 the kernel will guarantee that it will call the file->f_op->release() onle after there really aren't any uses of that file pointer any more..
