Thanks for taking time on this patchset, do you think I need to do
following for the formal version, or these improvements can be done
later?

- current algorithm to borrow tags in patch 7 is very easy and
straightforward, it should work fine on simple caces like the case you
reported for ufs, but this algorithm should be improved for more
complicated cases.
- currently borrowed tags will never be returned untill queue is idle,
I should figure out a way to return borrowed tags if this queue is not
busy, so that other queues can borrow tag from this queue.

Thanks,
Kuai
