/*
* Readahead design.
*
* The fields in struct file_ra_state represent the most-recently-executed
* readahead attempt:
*
* start: Page index at which we started the readahead
* size: Number of pages in that read
* Together, these form the "current window".
* Together, start and size represent the `readahead window'.
* prev_page: The page which the readahead algorithm most-recently inspected.
* It is mainly used to detect sequential file reading.
* If page_cache_readahead sees that it is again being called for
* a page which it just looked at, it can return immediately without
* making any state changes.
* ahead_start,
* ahead_size: Together, these form the "ahead window".
* ra_pages: The externally controlled max readahead for this fd.
*
* When readahead is in the off state (size == 0), readahead is disabled.
* In this state, prev_page is used to detect the resumption of sequential I/O.
*
* The readahead code manages two windows - the "current" and the "ahead"
* windows. The intent is that while the application is walking the pages
* in the current window, I/O is underway on the ahead window. When the
* current window is fully traversed, it is replaced by the ahead window
* and the ahead window is invalidated. When this copying happens, the
* new current window's pages are probably still locked. So
* we submit a new batch of I/O immediately, creating a new ahead window.
*
* So:
*
* ----|----------------|----------------|-----
* ^start ^start+size
* ^ahead_start ^ahead_start+ahead_size
*
* ^ When this page is read, we submit I/O for the
* ahead window.
*
* A `readahead hit' occurs when a read request is made against a page which is
* the next sequential page. Ahead window calculations are done only when it
* is time to submit a new IO. The code ramps up the size agressively at first,
* but slow down as it approaches max_readhead.
*
* Any seek/ramdom IO will result in readahead being turned off. It will resume
* at the first sequential access.
*
* There is a special-case: if the first page which the application tries to
* read happens to be the first page of the file, it is assumed that a linear
* read is about to happen and the window is immediately set to the initial size
* based on I/O request size and the max_readahead.
*
* This function is to be called for every read request, rather than when
* it is time to perform readahead. It is called only once for the entire I/O
* regardless of size unless readahead is unable to start enough I/O to satisfy
* the request (I/O request > max_readahead).
*/
