Is dst cache leak/overflow fix included to the latest FC-kernels?

Hello

I have experienced dst cache overflow errors with three FC3 firewalls under 
medium load.

It seems that the cache leak is now found 
(http://oss.sgi.com/archives/netdev/2005-01/msg01367.html) and there is a fix 
for that:

        to->priority = from->priority;
        to->protocol = from->protocol;
        to->security = from->security;
+       dst_release(to->dst);
        to->dst = dst_clone(from->dst);
        to->dev = from->dev;

I think that vanilla kernel 2.6.11 contains this fix, but does any FC-kernels 
have this fix included? If not, does anybody know is this fix going to be 
included to the new FC-kernels?
