+ * percpu_ref_cancel_init - cancel percpu_ref_init()
+ * @ref: percpu_ref to cancel init for
+ *
+ * Once a percpu_ref is initialized, its destruction is initiated by
+ * percpu_ref_kill() and completes asynchronously, which can be painful to
+ * do when destroying a half-constructed object in init failure path.
+ *
+ * This function destroys @ref without invoking @ref->release and the
+ * memory area containing it can be freed immediately on return. To
+ * prevent accidental misuse, it's required that @ref has finished
+ * percpu_ref_init(), whether successful or not, but never used.
+ *
+ * The weird name and usage restriction are to prevent people from using
+ * this function by mistake for normal shutdown instead of
+ * percpu_ref_kill().
