 302  *     ^start             ^page marked with PG_readahead
 303  *
 304  * To overlap application thinking time and disk I/O time, we do
 305  * `readahead pipelining': Do not wait until the application consumed all
 306  * readahead pages and stalled on the missing page at readahead_index;
 307  * Instead, submit an asynchronous readahead I/O as soon as there are
 308  * only async_size pages left in the readahead window. Normally async_size
 309  * will be equal to size, for maximum pipelining.
 310  *
 311  * In interleaved sequential reads, concurrent streams on the same fd can
 312  * be invalidating each other's readahead state. So we flag the new readahead
 313  * page at (start+size-async_size) with PG_readahead, and use it as readahead
 314  * indicator. The flag won't be set on already cached pages, to avoid the
 315  * readahead-for-nothing fuss, saving pointless page cache lookups.
 316  *
 317  * prev_pos tracks the last visited byte in the _previous_ read request.
 318  * It should be maintained by the caller, and will be used for detecting
 319  * small random reads. Note that the readahead algorithm checks loosely
 320  * for sequential patterns. Hence interleaved reads might be served as
 321  * sequential ones.
 322  *
 323  * There is a special-case: if the first page which the application tries to
 324  * read happens to be the first page of the file, it is assumed that a linear
 325  * read is about to happen and the window is immediately set to the initial size
 326  * based on I/O request size and the max_readahead.
