Hello, I'd like to inquire about something:

Since users of padata_free_shell need to ensure that all tasks in padata_shell have completed, 
how can they confirm this when they are uncertain? Would it be better if Padata provided a mechanism, 
such as padata_shell_status(), to maintain statistics like the number of tasks?

Thanks
