Correct. There is only one tagset per host, even if the host supports
several queues (guess why it's called smart PQI :-).
And mainline code isn't really wrong, it just allocates the next free
tag from the host tagset; it's not using the block-layer tags at all.
Precisely because the block layer currently cannot guarantee that tags
are unique per host.

And the point of this patchset is exactly that the block layer will only
send up to 'can_queue' requests, irrespective on how many hardware
queues are present.

But anyway, I'll test it on smartpqi, too.

Cheers,

Hannes
