Jens Axboe 5538af3843 block: use plug request list tail for one-shot backmerge attempt 
commit 961296e89d upstream.

Previously, the block layer stored the requests in the plug list in
LIFO order. For this reason, blk_attempt_plug_merge() would check
just the head entry for a back merge attempt, and abort after that
unless requests for multiple queues existed in the plug list. If more
than one request is present in the plug list, this makes the one-shot
back merging less useful than before, as it'll always fail to find a
quick merge candidate.

Use the tail entry for the one-shot merge attempt, which is the last
added request in the list. If that fails, abort immediately unless
there are multiple queues available. If multiple queues are available,
then scan the list. Ideally the latter scan would be a backwards scan
of the list, but as it currently stands, the plug list is singly linked
and hence this isn't easily feasible.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
