hugetlb parallelization depends on PADATA, and PADATA depends on SMP. PADATA consists of two distinct functionality: One part is padata_do_multithreaded which disregards order and simply divides tasks into several groups for parallel execution. Hugetlb init parallelization depends on padata_do_multithreaded. The other part is composed of a set of APIs that, while handling data in an out-of-order parallel manner, can eventually return the data with ordered sequence. Currently Only `crypto/pcrypt.c` use them. All users of PADATA of non-SMP case currently only use padata_do_multithreaded. It is easy to implement a serial one in include/linux/padata.h. And it is not necessary to implement another functionality unless the only user of crypto/pcrypt.c does not depend on SMP in the future.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
