I tried putting a memory pressure on the machine, then unused pages on 
the page LRU could be reclaimed.  In short, as you said, they were
not really leaked at all!

But I also saw the situation that memory and swap were exhausted when
I laid heavy load on ext3 for 20 consecutive days.  It seemed that the
pages couldn't be reclaimed then.
So I'll try to reproduce and let you know if something happens.
