Sorry but I disagree. Setting cmd_per_lun to a value lower than can_queue
will result in suboptimal performance if there is only a single LUN per SCSI
host. If there are multiple LUNs per SCSI host then the blk-mq core tracks
the number of active LUNs through the blk_mq_tags.active_queues variable.
See also hctx_may_queue(). The comment above that function is as follows:

/*
 * For shared tag users, we track the number of currently active users
 * and attempt to provide a fair share of the tag depth for each of them.
 */

BTW, the ib_srp initiator driver sets cmd_per_lun to can_queue and is able
to achieve more than one million IOPS even in tests with multiple LUNs per
SCSI host.
