block/mq-deadline: Reserve 25% of scheduler tags for synchronous requests
For interactive workloads it is important that synchronous requests are
not delayed. Hence reserve 25% of scheduler tags for synchronous requests.
This patch still allows asynchronous requests to fill the hardware queues
since blk_mq_init_sched() makes sure that the number of scheduler requests
is the double of the hardware queue depth. From blk_mq_init_sched():
q->nr_requests = 2 * min_t(unsigned int, q->tag_set->queue_depth,
BLKDEV_MAX_RQ);
