There are functions for enabling and disabling the instance:

void padata_start(struct padata_instance *pinst);
|

int padata_start(struct padata_instance *pinst);

void padata_stop(struct padata_instance *pinst);

These functions literally do nothing beyond setting or clearing the

"padata_start() was called" flag; if that flag is not set, other functions

will refuse to work.

These functions are setting or clearing the "PADATA_INIT" flag;

if that flag is not set, other functions will refuse to work.

padata_start returns zero on success (flag set) or -EINVAL if the

padata cpumask contains no active cpu (flag not set).
|

padata_stop clears the flag and blocks until the padata instance

is unused.

The pinst and padata structures must be set up as described above; cb_cpu

padata_do_parallel() is a little strange; zero is an error return
