The leak seems to be in 2.6.1-rc1 too and I can't find any IPv6 related
fixes wrt memory in the long format changelog of 2.6.1-rc1.

David: are you sure it was fixed in rc1?

It doesn't seem to be in -rc2 either.

This is after 26 hours uptime:

tcp6_sock           6246   6248   1024    4    1 : tunables   54   27    0
: slabdata   1562   1562      0
