Can you elaborate on what is ur objective or can you get us how you have invoked this function.
To my understanding kmem_cache_alloc() will just return a linear virtual address (void *) of a memory object.
It would not initialize this memory. What you are seeing is a stale value which is unwarranted in this context.

In init procedure ,I use kmem_cache_alloc to apply for memory to locate a inode struct.
it returns to me a inode whose i_dentry element cantain a struct list_head pointing to address 0x3,
Is the address within low momery resonable or illegal?
