In a synchronous setup, we may retire the last request before we complete allocating the next request. As the last request is retired, we queue a timer to mark the device as idle, and promptly have to execute ad cancel that timer once we complete allocating the request and need to keep the device awake. If we rearrange the mark_busy() to occur before we retire the previous request, we can skip this ping-pong. v2: Joonas pointed out that unreserve_seqno() was now doing more than doing seqno handling and should be renamed to reflect its wider purpose. That also highlighted the new asymmetry with reserve_seqno(), so fixup that and rename both to [un]reserve_engine().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
