block: splice plug list to local context
If the request_fn ends up blocking, we could be re-entering the plug flush. Since the list is protected by explicitly not allowing schedule events, this isn't a terribly good idea. Additionally, it can cause us to recurse. As request_fn called by __blk_run_queue is allowed to 'schedule()' (after dropping the queue lock of course), it is possible to get a recursive call: schedule -> blk_flush_plug -> __blk_finish_plug -> flush_plug_list -> __blk_run_queue -> request_fn -> schedule We must make sure that the second schedule does not call into blk_flush_plug again. So instead of leaving the list of requests on blk_plug->list, move them to a separate list leaving blk_plug->list empty. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
