355 * ^start ^page marked with PG_readahead
357 * To overlap application thinking time and disk I/O time, we do
358 * `readahead pipelining': Do not wait until the application consumed all
359 * readahead pages and stalled on the missing page at readahead_index;
360 * Instead, submit an asynchronous readahead I/O as soon as there are
361 * only async_size pages left in the readahead window. Normally async_size
362 * will be equal to size, for maximum pipelining.
364 * In interleaved sequential reads, concurrent streams on the same fd can
365 * be invalidating each other's readahead state. So we flag the new readahead
366 * page at (start+size-async_size) with PG_readahead, and use it as readahead
367 * indicator. The flag won't be set on already cached pages, to avoid the
368 * readahead-for-nothing fuss, saving pointless page cache lookups.
370 * prev_pos tracks the last visited byte in the _previous_ read request.
371 * It should be maintained by the caller, and will be used for detecting
372 * small random reads. Note that the readahead algorithm checks loosely
373 * for sequential patterns. Hence interleaved reads might be served as
376 * There is a special-case: if the first page which the application tries to
377 * read happens to be the first page of the file, it is assumed that a linear
378 * read is about to happen and the window is immediately set to the initial size
379 * based on I/O request size and the max_readahead.
