293  *     ^start             ^page marked with PG_readahead
294  *
295  * To overlap application thinking time and disk I/O time, we do
296  * `readahead pipelining': Do not wait until the application consumed all
297  * readahead pages and stalled on the missing page at readahead_index;
298  * Instead, submit an asynchronous readahead I/O as soon as there are
299  * only async_size pages left in the readahead window. Normally async_size
300  * will be equal to size, for maximum pipelining.
301  *
302  * In interleaved sequential reads, concurrent streams on the same fd can
303  * be invalidating each other's readahead state. So we flag the new readahead
304  * page at (start+size-async_size) with PG_readahead, and use it as readahead
305  * indicator. The flag won't be set on already cached pages, to avoid the
306  * readahead-for-nothing fuss, saving pointless page cache lookups.
307  *
308  * prev_pos tracks the last visited byte in the _previous_ read request.
309  * It should be maintained by the caller, and will be used for detecting
310  * small random reads. Note that the readahead algorithm checks loosely
311  * for sequential patterns. Hence interleaved reads might be served as
312  * sequential ones.
313  *
314  * There is a special-case: if the first page which the application tries to
315  * read happens to be the first page of the file, it is assumed that a linear
316  * read is about to happen and the window is immediately set to the initial size
317  * based on I/O request size and the max_readahead.
318  *
319  * The code ramps up the readahead size aggressively at first, but slow down as
320  * it approaches max_readhead.

531  * @ra: file_ra_state which holds the readahead state
532  * @filp: passed on to ->readpage() and ->readpages()
533  * @page: the page at @offset which has the PG_readahead flag set
534  * @offset: start offset into @mapping, in pagecache page-sized units
535  * @req_size: hint: total size of the read which the caller is performing in
536  *            pagecache pages

538  * page_cache_async_readahead() should be called when a page is used which
539  * has the PG_readahead flag; this is a marker to suggest that the application
540  * has used up enough of the readahead window that we should start pulling in
541  * more pages.
