[ Upstream commit 7f212e997e ]
blk_mq_flush_plug_list submits requests in the reverse order that they
were submitted, which leads to a rather suboptimal I/O pattern
especially in rotational devices. Fix this by rewriting virtio_queue_rqs
so that it always pops the requests from the passed in request list, and
then adds them to the head of a local submit list. This actually
simplifies the code a bit as it removes the complicated list splicing,
at the cost of extra updates of the rq_next pointer. As that should be
cache hot anyway it should be an easy price to pay.
