303  *
304  *                        |<----- async_size ---------|

306  *     |==================#===========================|
307  *     ^start             ^page marked with PG_readahead
308  *
309  * To overlap application thinking time and disk I/O time, we do
310  * `readahead pipelining': Do not wait until the application consumed all
311  * readahead pages and stalled on the missing page at readahead_index;
312  * Instead, submit an asynchronous readahead I/O as soon as there are
313  * only async_size pages left in the readahead window. Normally async_size
314  * will be equal to size, for maximum pipelining.
315  *
316  * In interleaved sequential reads, concurrent streams on the same fd can
317  * be invalidating each other's readahead state. So we flag the new readahead
318  * page at (start+size-async_size) with PG_readahead, and use it as readahead
319  * indicator. The flag won't be set on already cached pages, to avoid the
320  * readahead-for-nothing fuss, saving pointless page cache lookups.
321  *
322  * prev_pos tracks the last visited byte in the _previous_ read request.
323  * It should be maintained by the caller, and will be used for detecting
324  * small random reads. Note that the readahead algorithm checks loosely
325  * for sequential patterns. Hence interleaved reads might be served as
326  * sequential ones.
327  *
328  * There is a special-case: if the first page which the application tries to
329  * read happens to be the first page of the file, it is assumed that a linear
330  * read is about to happen and the window is immediately set to the initial size
331  * based on I/O request size and the max_readahead.
332  *

334  * it approaches max_readhead.
