* padata: allocate workqueue internallyDaniel Jordan2019-09-131-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move workqueue allocation inside of padata to prepare for further changes to how padata uses workqueues. Guarantees the workqueue is created with max_active=1, which padata relies on to work correctly. No functional change.

* padata.txt: standardize document formatMauro Carvalho Chehab2017-07-141-12/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Each text file under Documentation follows a different format. Some doesn't even have titles! Change its representation to follow the adopted standard, using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx: - mark document title; - mark literal blocks.
