You could add a wakeup event to prevent busy waiting. An alternative would
be a waitable jobs queue.

BTW, you seem have another problem. The drivers/workers are serviced always
in the same order which would systematically choke ones near to the list
end. A usual solution of this problem is list walking entered at the point
where it was left.
