292  *     ^start             ^page marked with PG_readahead
293  *
294  * To overlap application thinking time and disk I/O time, we do
295  * `readahead pipelining': Do not wait until the application consumed all
296  * readahead pages and stalled on the missing page at readahead_index;
297  * Instead, submit an asynchronous readahead I/O as soon as there are
298  * only async_size pages left in the readahead window. Normally async_size
299  * will be equal to size, for maximum pipelining.
300  *
301  * In interleaved sequential reads, concurrent streams on the same fd can
302  * be invalidating each other's readahead state. So we flag the new readahead
303  * page at (start+size-async_size) with PG_readahead, and use it as readahead
304  * indicator. The flag won't be set on already cached pages, to avoid the
305  * readahead-for-nothing fuss, saving pointless page cache lookups.
306  *
307  * prev_pos tracks the last visited byte in the _previous_ read request.
308  * It should be maintained by the caller, and will be used for detecting
309  * small random reads. Note that the readahead algorithm checks loosely
310  * for sequential patterns. Hence interleaved reads might be served as
311  * sequential ones.
312  *
313  * There is a special-case: if the first page which the application tries to
314  * read happens to be the first page of the file, it is assumed that a linear
315  * read is about to happen and the window is immediately set to the initial size
316  * based on I/O request size and the max_readahead.
317  *

319  * it approaches max_readhead.
