Just as mentioned in original patch, "dd->async_depth = max(1UL, 3 * q->nr_requests / 4);", this limitation methods look likes won't have a limit effect, because tag allocated is based on sbitmap, not based the whole nr_requests.
Right?
Thanks!

For write requests, when we assign a tags from sched_tags,
data->shallow_depth will be passed to sbitmap_find_bit,
see the following code:

nr = sbitmap_find_bit_in_word(&sb->map[index],
			min_t (unsigned int,
			__map_depth(sb, index),
			depth),
			alloc_hint, wrap);

The smaller of data->shallow_depth and __map_depth(sb, index)
will be used as the maximum range when allocating bits.

For a mmc device (one hw queue, deadline I/O scheduler):
q->nr_requests = sched_tags = 128, so according to the previous
calculation method, dd->async_depth = data->shallow_depth = 96,
and the platform is 64bits with 8 cpus, sched_tags.bitmap_tags.sb.shift=5,
sb.maps[]=32/32/32/32, 32 is smaller than 96, whether it is a read or
a write I/O, tags can be allocated to the maximum range each time,
which has not throttling effect.
Whether or not the code in my patch effectively performs throttling,
we need this revert to be merged. The patch that is being reverted
("block/mq-deadline: use correct way to throttling write requests")
ended up in Greg KH's stable branches. Hence, the first step is to
revert that patch and tag it with "Cc: stable" such that the revert
lands in the stable branches.

Thanks,

Bart.
