The current tag reservation code is based on a misunderstanding of the
meaning of data->shallow_depth. Fix the tag reservation code as follows:
* By default, do not reserve any tags for synchronous requests because
for certain use cases reserving tags reduces performance. See also
Harshit Mogalapalli, [bug-report] Performance regression with fio
sequential-write on a multipath setup, 2024-03-07
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/5ce2ae5d-61e2-4ede-ad55-551112602401@oracle.com/)
* Reduce min_shallow_depth to one because min_shallow_depth must be less
than or equal any shallow_depth value.
* Scale dd->async_depth from the range [1, nr_requests] to [1,
bits_per_sbitmap_word].

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
