It need full patch set (below) + associated fixes.
[1] " blk-mq: Use shared tags for shared sbitmap support" Commit -

Below commit cannot go to stable without [1].
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux-block.git/commit/?h=for-5.17/block&id=fea9f92f1748083cb82049ed503be30c3d3a9b69

I am not sure if stable requirement fits in this case. I mean large
