Hi Uffe
I tried bs=8k and bs=16k, the random read and random write performance
improvement was not noticeable.

1.Fixed hsq_depth
1) Random write(bs=8K):
Speed: 116 114 115
Average speed: 115MB/S

2) Random read(bs=8K):
Speed: 83 83 82.5
Average speed: 82.8MB/S

3) Random write(bs=16K):
Speed: 141 142 141
Average speed: 141.3MB/S

4) Random read(bs=16K):
Speed: 132 132 132
Average speed: 132MB/S

2.Dynamic hsq_depth
1) Random write(bs=8K):
Speed: 115 115 115
Average speed: 115MB/S

2) Random read(bs=8K):
Speed: 82.7 82.9 82.8
Average speed: 82.8MB/S

3) Random write(bs=16K):
Speed: 143 141 141
Average speed: 141.6MB/S

4) Random read(bs=16K):
Speed: 132 132 132
Average speed: 132MB/S

Increasing hsq_depth cannot improve 8k and 16k random read/write performance.
To reduce latency, we dynamically increase hsq_depth only for 4k random writes.
