I will add a follows comment and change defalut value 1024 to 2048.
"A cache size of 2MB can cache ppn in the 1GB range."

OK, I will remove BLK_MQ_REQ_PREEMPT flag.

The map worker don't issue map requests when the UFS device is in
runtime suspend. So, I think BLK_MQ_REQ_NOWAIT flags is not needed.

OK, I will change it.

OK, I will.
