Since the introduction of preempt-to-busy, requests can complete in the background, even while they are not on the engine->active.requests list. As such, the engine->active.request list itself is not in strict retirement order, and we have to scan the entire list while unwinding to not miss any. However, if the request is completed we currently leave it on the list [until retirement], but we could just as simply remove it and stop treating it as active. We would only have to then traverse it once while unwinding in quick succession.

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.
