It seems like it's a regular allocation from the inode_cachep kmem_cache:

	inode = kmem_cache_alloc(inode_cachep, GFP_KERNEL);

I'm not sure if there's anything special about this cache, codewise it's
created as follows:


        inode_cachep = kmem_cache_create("inode_cache",
                                         sizeof(struct inode),
                                         0,
                                         (SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT|SLAB_PANIC|
                                         SLAB_MEM_SPREAD),
                                         init_once);


I'd be happy to dig up any other info required, I'm just not too sure
what you mean by options for the cache?


Thanks,
Sasha
