[ Upstream commit388c705b95] This reverts commit6d4d273588. bfq.limit_depth passes word_depths[] as shallow_depth down to sbitmap core sbitmap_get_shallow, which uses just the number to limit the scan depth of each bitmap word, formula: scan_percentage_for_each_word = shallow_depth / (1 << sbimap->shift) * 100% That means the comments's percentiles 50%, 75%, 18%, 37% of bfq are correct. But after commit patch 'bfq: Fix computation of shallow depth', we use sbitmap.depth instead, as a example in following case: sbitmap.depth = 256, map_nr = 4, shift = 6; sbitmap_word.depth = 64. The resulsts of computed bfqd->word_depths[] are {128, 192, 48, 96}, and three of the numbers exceed core dirver's 'sbitmap_word.depth=64' limit nothing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
