This patch introduces the parameter of 'g_global_tags' so that we can test this feature by null_blk easiy.
Not see obvious performance drop with global_tags when the whole hw depth is kept as same: 1) no 'global_tags', each hw queue depth is 1, and 4 hw queues modprobe null_blk queue_mode=2 nr_devices=4 shared_tags=1 global_tags=0 submit_queues=4 hw_queue_depth=1 2) 'global_tags', global hw queue depth is 4, and 4 hw queues modprobe null_blk queue_mode=2 nr_devices=4 shared_tags=1 global_tags=0 submit_queues=4 hw_queue_depth=4 3) fio test done in above two settings: fio --bs=4k --size=512G --rw=randread --norandommap --direct=1 --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=4 --runtime=$RUNTIME --group_reporting=1 --name=nullb0 --filename=/dev/nullb0 --name=nullb1 --filename=/dev/nullb1 --name=nullb2 --filename=/dev/nullb2 --name=nullb3 --filename=/dev/nullb3 1M IOPS can be reached in both above tests which is done in one VM.
