Yes, these need to be additionally checked.

I don't want to bypass it, but maybe each queue could have its own
workq and timeout checker? And then use queue_delayed_work_on()?

Yeah you are right, we could avoid ent_w_req_queue and ent_commit_queue
if we use fpq->processing, but processing consists of 256 lists -
overhead is much smaller by using the entry lists?

I admit I'm a bit lost with that question. Aren't you pointing out
the same lists as I do?

Sounds good to me.
