281  *     ^start             ^page marked with PG_readahead
282  *
283  * To overlap application thinking time and disk I/O time, we do
284  * `readahead pipelining': Do not wait until the application consumed all
285  * readahead pages and stalled on the missing page at readahead_index;
286  * Instead, submit an asynchronous readahead I/O as soon as there are
287  * only async_size pages left in the readahead window. Normally async_size
288  * will be equal to size, for maximum pipelining.
289  *
290  * In interleaved sequential reads, concurrent streams on the same fd can
291  * be invalidating each other's readahead state. So we flag the new readahead
292  * page at (start+size-async_size) with PG_readahead, and use it as readahead
293  * indicator. The flag won't be set on already cached pages, to avoid the
294  * readahead-for-nothing fuss, saving pointless page cache lookups.
295  *
296  * prev_pos tracks the last visited byte in the _previous_ read request.
297  * It should be maintained by the caller, and will be used for detecting
298  * small random reads. Note that the readahead algorithm checks loosely
299  * for sequential patterns. Hence interleaved reads might be served as
300  * sequential ones.
301  *
302  * There is a special-case: if the first page which the application tries to
303  * read happens to be the first page of the file, it is assumed that a linear
304  * read is about to happen and the window is immediately set to the initial size
305  * based on I/O request size and the max_readahead.
306  *
307  * The code ramps up the readahead size aggressively at first, but slow down as
308  * it approaches max_readhead.
