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