Wrong mailing list for MD - you want linux-raid at vger.kernel.org
But I can still answer :
These raid levels don't queue requests at all. They just pass them straight
to the relevant underlying devices.
(Now admittedly RAID5 does queue requests but doesn't set the time_in_queue
field, but that is a separate issue).
If you really care about time_in_queue, you need to look at the queues of the
member devices.
