Interesting. If I read the code correctly, real_max_depth is the maximum
queue depth we ever have and max_depth is the current depth.

In your fix, we never resize the tag size to be smaller than max_depth.
So I think this patch does expose some problem, but not lead to the BUG.
And in your new comment, you mentioned that "request between new_depth
and max_depth can be in-flight", but max_depth <= real_max_depth, so
what's wrong with the comment? Sorry, but am I missing something here?

Having said that, I have tried the test in my machine here, but have no
luck by now. My kernel version is 3.2.0-rc5+.

Thanks
