295  *     |==================#===========================|
296  *     ^start             ^page marked with PG_readahead
297  *
298  * To overlap application thinking time and disk I/O time, we do
299  * `readahead pipelining': Do not wait until the application consumed all
300  * readahead pages and stalled on the missing page at readahead_index;
301  * Instead, submit an asynchronous readahead I/O as soon as there are
302  * only async_size pages left in the readahead window. Normally async_size
303  * will be equal to size, for maximum pipelining.
304  *
305  * In interleaved sequential reads, concurrent streams on the same fd can
306  * be invalidating each other's readahead state. So we flag the new readahead
307  * page at (start+size-async_size) with PG_readahead, and use it as readahead
308  * indicator. The flag won't be set on already cached pages, to avoid the
309  * readahead-for-nothing fuss, saving pointless page cache lookups.
310  *
311  * prev_pos tracks the last visited byte in the _previous_ read request.
312  * It should be maintained by the caller, and will be used for detecting
313  * small random reads. Note that the readahead algorithm checks loosely
314  * for sequential patterns. Hence interleaved reads might be served as
315  * sequential ones.
316  *
317  * There is a special-case: if the first page which the application tries to
318  * read happens to be the first page of the file, it is assumed that a linear
319  * read is about to happen and the window is immediately set to the initial size
320  * based on I/O request size and the max_readahead.
321  *
322  * The code ramps up the readahead size aggressively at first, but slow down as
323  * it approaches max_readhead.
