Kernel 3.18 is pre rbd blk-mq transition, which happened in 4.0.  You
should test whatever patches you have with at least 4.0.

Putting that aside, I must be missing something.  You'll get 4M
requests on 3.18 both with your patch and without it, the only
difference would be the size of bios being merged - 512k vs 1M.  Can
you describe your test workload and provide before and after traces?

Thanks,
