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