187 * Readahead design.
189 * The fields in struct file_ra_state represent the most-recently-executed
190 * readahead attempt:
192 * start: Page index at which we started the readahead
193 * size: Number of pages in that read
194 * Together, these form the "current window".
195 * Together, start and size represent the `readahead window'.
196 * prev_page: The page which the readahead algorithm most-recently inspected.
197 * It is mainly used to detect sequential file reading.
198 * If page_cache_readahead sees that it is again being called for
199 * a page which it just looked at, it can return immediately without
200 * making any state changes.
201 * ahead_start,
202 * ahead_size: Together, these form the "ahead window".
203 * ra_pages: The externally controlled max readahead for this fd.
205 * When readahead is in the off state (size == 0), readahead is disabled.
206 * In this state, prev_page is used to detect the resumption of sequential I/O.
208 * The readahead code manages two windows - the "current" and the "ahead"
209 * windows. The intent is that while the application is walking the pages
210 * in the current window, I/O is underway on the ahead window. When the
211 * current window is fully traversed, it is replaced by the ahead window
212 * and the ahead window is invalidated. When this copying happens, the
213 * new current window's pages are probably still locked. So
214 * we submit a new batch of I/O immediately, creating a new ahead window.
216 * So:
218 * ----|----------------|----------------|-----
219 * ^start ^start+size
220 * ^ahead_start ^ahead_start+ahead_size
222 * ^ When this page is read, we submit I/O for the
223 * ahead window.
225 * A `readahead hit' occurs when a read request is made against a page which is
226 * the next sequential page. Ahead window calculations are done only when it
227 * is time to submit a new IO. The code ramps up the size agressively at first,
228 * but slow down as it approaches max_readhead.
230 * Any seek/ramdom IO will result in readahead being turned off. It will resume
231 * at the first sequential access.
233 * There is a special-case: if the first page which the application tries to
234 * read happens to be the first page of the file, it is assumed that a linear
235 * read is about to happen and the window is immediately set to the initial size
236 * based on I/O request size and the max_readahead.
238 * This function is to be called for every read request, rather than when
239 * it is time to perform readahead. It is called only once for the entire I/O
240 * regardless of size unless readahead is unable to start enough I/O to satisfy
241 * the request (I/O request > max_readahead).
245 * do_page_cache_readahead actually reads a chunk of disk. It allocates all
246 * the pages first, then submits them all for I/O. This avoids the very bad
247 * behaviour which would occur if page allocations are causing VM writeback.
248 * We really don't want to intermingle reads and writes like that.
250 * Returns the number of pages requested, or the maximum amount of I/O allowed.
252 * do_page_cache_readahead() returns -1 if it encountered request queue
253 * congestion.
