So, I'm not sure yet, but the "break" cases in the
list_for_each_entry_safe seem suspicious to me.

It seems we've move the list to the local listhead, then as we process
the local listhead, we may hit the "break" case, which will stop
processing the list, and then we end up returning, losing the
unprocessed items on the local listhead.

I suspect we need to move them back to the started/cancelled_list, or
rework things so we don't hit the "break" cases and fully process the
local list before returning.
