 306 *                        |<----- async_size ---------|
 307 *     |------------------- size -------------------->|
 308 *     |==================#===========================|
 309 *     ^start             ^page marked with PG_readahead
 310 *
 311 * To overlap application thinking time and disk I/O time, we do
 312 * `readahead pipelining': Do not wait until the application consumed all
 313 * readahead pages and stalled on the missing page at readahead_index;
 314 * Instead, submit an asynchronous readahead I/O as soon as there are
 315 * only async_size pages left in the readahead window. Normally async_size
 316 * will be equal to size, for maximum pipelining.
 317 *
 318 * In interleaved sequential reads, concurrent streams on the same fd can
 319 * be invalidating each other's readahead state. So we flag the new readahead
 320 * page at (start+size-async_size) with PG_readahead, and use it as readahead
 321 * indicator. The flag won't be set on already cached pages, to avoid the
 322 * readahead-for-nothing fuss, saving pointless page cache lookups.
 323 *
 324 * prev_pos tracks the last visited byte in the _previous_ read request.
 325 * It should be maintained by the caller, and will be used for detecting
 326 * small random reads. Note that the readahead algorithm checks loosely
 327 * for sequential patterns. Hence interleaved reads might be served as
 328 * sequential ones.
 329 *
 330 * There is a special-case: if the first page which the application tries to
 331 * read happens to be the first page of the file, it is assumed that a linear
 332 * read is about to happen and the window is immediately set to the initial size
 333 * based on I/O request size and the max_readahead.
 334 *
 335 * The code ramps up the readahead size aggressively at first, but slow down as
 336 * it approaches max_readhead.
