I am trying to check how many slabs are used for inode_cache, but
found that all slabs are added to slabs_full list, and slabs_partial

occupy all slabs.
Does that mean Linux 2.6 remove the use of slabs_partial?
No. If slabs_partial is really empty, the number of active objects
should match the number of objects in a slab; otherwise you should see
an error message when you do cat /proc/slabinfo (see s_show in
mm/slab.c for details).
How are you verifying that the partial list is empty?

Another question, the constructor transfered to the
kmem_cache_create() function is called for every object in a slab when
it is created. Is this true? Is there any way to call back a function
_only once_ when a new slab is allocated?
We don't have per-slab constructors. Only per-object. What do you need it for?
