Thanks for the review.

On v7 [1] which used an extra timeout list, the feedback was

"One thing I worry about is adding more roadblocks on the way to making
request queuing more scalable.

Currently there's fc->num_waiting that's touched on all requests and
bg_queue/bg_lock that are touched on background requests.  We should
be trying to fix these bottlenecks instead of adding more.

Can't we use the existing lists to scan requests?

It's more complex, obviously, but at least it doesn't introduce yet
another per-fc list to worry about."

Nice, I'll change this to ULONG_MAX. We only run into this overflow on
32-bit systems (and only if the kernel has configured HZ to greater
than 1092) so U32_MAX is the same as ULONG_MAX,  but ULONG_MAX looks
nicer since "fc->timeout.req_timeout" is an unsigned long.


Thanks,
Joanne
