This not the head of the list, but a node.

Use request since this is a less often used member name and brevity
isn't saving thousands of keystrokes.

Because you issue requests on all rings that are not actually
serialised, the order of writes and retirements are also not serialised,
i.e. this does not do a complete wait for all activity on the object.

Again the list is not actually in retirement order since you combine
multiple rings into one list.

These problems magically disappear with a list per-ring and a page
per-ring. You also need to be more careful with overwriting unflushed
entries. A dynamic approach to page allocation overcomes that.
