I'm not sure what you mean by "avoid dispatch errors".  Can you elaborate?
Be aware that the calculation of "can_queue" in this driver is somewhat
flawed -- it should not be based on the size of the ring buffer, but instead on
the maximum number of requests Hyper-V will queue.  And even then,
can_queue doesn't provide the cap you might expect because the blk-mq layer
allocates can_queue tags for each HW queue, not as a total.

I agree that the cmd_per_lun setting is also too big, but we should fix that in
the context of getting all of these different settings working together correctly,
and not piecemeal.
