This revision is now accepted and ready to land.

LGTM (just one more possibly useful nit about const)



================
Comment at: clangd/TUScheduler.cpp:298
+      while (shouldSkipHeadLocked())
+        Requests.pop_front();
+      assert(!Requests.empty() && "skipped the whole queue");

As discussed offline, I totally missed the case when the new request comes in 
and has to cancel requests from the middle of the queue. So the implementation 
I proposed would probably still have two loops and not be less complex.

So LGTM here, my suggestions won't make things simpler.


================
Comment at: clangd/TUScheduler.cpp:105
+  /// Should the first task in the queue be skipped instead of run?
+  bool shouldSkipHeadLocked();
 
----------------
NIT: this could be made `const`
