Every laio_io_plug() call has a matching laio_io_unplug() call. There is a plugged counter that tracks the number of levels of plugging and allows for nesting.
The plugged counter must reflect the balance between laio_io_plug() and laio_io_unplug() calls accurately. Otherwise I/O stalls occur since io_submit(2) calls are skipped while plugged.
