295 * |------------------- size -------------------->|
296 * |==================#===========================|
297 * ^start ^page marked with PG_readahead
299 * To overlap application thinking time and disk I/O time, we do
300 * `readahead pipelining': Do not wait until the application consumed all
301 * readahead pages and stalled on the missing page at readahead_index;
302 * Instead, submit an asynchronous readahead I/O as soon as there are
303 * only async_size pages left in the readahead window. Normally async_size
304 * will be equal to size, for maximum pipelining.
306 * In interleaved sequential reads, concurrent streams on the same fd can
307 * be invalidating each other's readahead state. So we flag the new readahead
308 * page at (start+size-async_size) with PG_readahead, and use it as readahead
309 * indicator. The flag won't be set on already cached pages, to avoid the
310 * readahead-for-nothing fuss, saving pointless page cache lookups.
312 * prev_pos tracks the last visited byte in the _previous_ read request.
313 * It should be maintained by the caller, and will be used for detecting
314 * small random reads. Note that the readahead algorithm checks loosely
315 * for sequential patterns. Hence interleaved reads might be served as
316 * sequential ones.
318 * There is a special-case: if the first page which the application tries to
319 * read happens to be the first page of the file, it is assumed that a linear
320 * read is about to happen and the window is immediately set to the initial size
321 * based on I/O request size and the max_readahead.
323 * The code ramps up the readahead size aggressively at first, but slow down as
324 * it approaches max_readhead.
328 * A minimal readahead algorithm for trivial sequential/random reads.
