I took a closer look at it, and I think that's it. The driver doesn't support any queueing, so we must limit the depth to 1. Either artificially like it did before, or just by setting the depth to 1. The latter is cleaner imho. If you make the above mentioned edit, changing the 2 to a 1, it should work. -- Jens Axboe
