for example, ext3's copy of init_once() is
--
static void init_once(void * foo, kmem_cache_t * cachep, unsigned long flags)
{
struct ext3_inode_info *ei = (struct ext3_inode_info *) foo;

if ((flags & (SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY|SLAB_CTOR_CONSTRUCTOR)) ==
SLAB_CTOR_CONSTRUCTOR) {
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&ei->i_orphan); ---------------(A)
#ifdef CONFIG_EXT3_FS_XATTR
init_rwsem(&ei->xattr_sem); ---------------(B)
#endif
mutex_init(&ei->truncate_mutex); ---------------(C)
inode_init_once(&ei->vfs_inode);
}
}

(A) and (B) and (C) is only for ext3.

NFS's
--
static void init_once(void * foo, kmem_cache_t * cachep, unsigned long flags)
{
struct nfs_inode *nfsi = (struct nfs_inode *) foo;

if ((flags & (SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY|SLAB_CTOR_CONSTRUCTOR)) ==
SLAB_CTOR_CONSTRUCTOR) {
inode_init_once(&nfsi->vfs_inode);
spin_lock_init(&nfsi->req_lock);
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&nfsi->dirty);
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&nfsi->commit);
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&nfsi->open_files);
INIT_RADIX_TREE(&nfsi->nfs_page_tree, GFP_ATOMIC);
atomic_set(&nfsi->data_updates, 0);
nfsi->ndirty = 0;
nfsi->ncommit = 0;
nfsi->npages = 0;
nfs4_init_once(nfsi);
}
}

Of cource, many of init_once() just call inode_init_once(). But some fs does
something special.

Thanks,
