311 * ^start ^page marked with PG_readahead
313 * To overlap application thinking time and disk I/O time, we do
314 * `readahead pipelining': Do not wait until the application consumed all
315 * readahead pages and stalled on the missing page at readahead_index;
316 * Instead, submit an asynchronous readahead I/O as soon as there are
317 * only async_size pages left in the readahead window. Normally async_size
318 * will be equal to size, for maximum pipelining.
320 * In interleaved sequential reads, concurrent streams on the same fd can
321 * be invalidating each other's readahead state. So we flag the new readahead
322 * page at (start+size-async_size) with PG_readahead, and use it as readahead
323 * indicator. The flag won't be set on already cached pages, to avoid the
324 * readahead-for-nothing fuss, saving pointless page cache lookups.
326 * prev_pos tracks the last visited byte in the _previous_ read request.
327 * It should be maintained by the caller, and will be used for detecting
328 * small random reads. Note that the readahead algorithm checks loosely
329 * for sequential patterns. Hence interleaved reads might be served as
332 * There is a special-case: if the first page which the application tries to
333 * read happens to be the first page of the file, it is assumed that a linear
334 * read is about to happen and the window is immediately set to the initial size
335 * based on I/O request size and the max_readahead.
337 * The code ramps up the readahead size aggressively at first, but slow down as
338 * it approaches max_readhead.
342 * Count contiguously cached pages from @offset-1 to @offset-@max,
343 * this count is a conservative estimation of
344 * - length of the sequential read sequence, or
345 * - thrashing threshold in memory tight systems
