The above patch sets min_shallow_depth to the same value as commit
d47f9717e5cf ("block/mq-deadline: use correct way to throttling write
requests"). That commit got reverted because it was causing performance
problems. So the above patch reintroduces the performance problem that
has been fixed by commit 256aab46e316 ("Revert "block/mq-deadline: use
correct way to throttling write requests"").

Thank you for attempting to reintroduce a problem that just got fixed
without even mentioning that this is an attempt to reintroduce a
performance problem.

Bart.
