SCSI devices use host-wide tagset, and the shared
driver tag space is often quite big. Meantime
there is also queue depth for each lun(.cmd_per_lun),
which is often small.
So lots of requests may stay in sw queue, and we
always flush all belonging to same hw queue and
dispatch them all to driver, unfortunately it is
easy to cause queue busy because of the small
per-lun queue depth. Once these requests are flushed
out, they have to stay in hctx->dispatch, and no bio
merge can participate into these requests, and
sequential IO performance is hurted.
This patch improves dispatching from sw queue when
there is per-request-queue queue depth by taking
request one by one from sw queue, just like the way
of IO scheduler.
