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