Matthew Brost pointed out that the while-loop on a shared breadcrumb was
inherently fraught with danger as it competed with the other users of
the breadcrumbs. However, in order to completely drain the re-arming irq
worker, the while-loop is a necessity, despite my optimism that we could
force cancellation with a couple of irq_work invocations.
Given that we can't merely drop the while-loop, use an activity counter on
the breadcrumbs to detect when we are parking the breadcrumbs for the
last time.
Based on a patch by Matthew Brost.

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.
