Re: [PATCH Linux 2.6.12-rc2 02/04] blk: remove blk_queue_tag->real_max_depth optimization

[Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>]

02_blk_tag_map_remove_real_max_depth.patch

	blk_queue_tag->real_max_depth was used to optimize out
	unnecessary allocations/frees on tag resize.  However, the
	whole thing was very broken - tag_map was never allocated to
	real_max_depth resulting in access beyond the end of the map,
	bits in [max_depth..real_max_depth] were set when initializing
	a map and copied when resizing resulting in pre-occupied tags.

	As the gain of the optimization is very small, well, almost
	nill, remove the whole thing.
