I'm taking 2.6.16(.0) adding -mm1.  When running dvbstream I get
dentry_cache and sock_inode_cache leaking about 4MB/s.

I then revert this ENFILE/EMFILE patch and both leaks stop.

I've just compiled up 2.6.16-git18 and that leaks in an identical
manner.   I'm suprised no-one else has seen it, so I've been putting
it down to the specific hardware (dvb-usb-vp7045), but then I saw that
it was a bad memory leak and then that 2.6.16 was fine and finally
started trying to isolate the patch that broke it for me (tm).

Maybe it's just exposed a bug in dvb-usb-vp7045, but given that it
appears to add a sock_alloc_fd without any matching deallocate code
AFAICT...
