Yes, as soon as the next merge window opens. The leak only shows up when you mount and unmount a filesystem, which under normal circumstances doesn't happen a huge number of times on most systems. By the time it showed up it was late enough in the 2.6.31-rcX series that I figured it was better to wait until the next merge window. I didn't consider it a high priority bug.
