We use the completion of the last active breadcrumb to retire the requests along a timeline. This is purely opportunistic as nothing guarantees that any particular timeline is terminated by a breadcrumb; except for parking the engine where we explicitly add a breadcrumb so that we park quickly and do an explicit retire upon signaling to reduce the latency dramatically (avoiding a retire worker roundtrip). With scheduling, we anticipate retiring completed timelines as a matter of course. Performing the same action from inside the breadcrumbs is intended to provide similar functionality for legacy ringbuffer submission.

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.
