  176. * Readahead design.
  177. *
  178. * The fields in struct file_ra_state represent the most-recently-executed
  179. * readahead attempt:
  180. *
  181. * start: Page index at which we started the readahead
  182. * size: Number of pages in that read
  183. * Together, these form the "current window".
  184. * Together, start and size represent the `readahead window'.
  185. * prev_page: The page which the readahead algorithm most-recently inspected.
  186. * It is mainly used to detect sequential file reading.
  187. * If page_cache_readahead sees that it is again being called for
  188. * a page which it just looked at, it can return immediately without
  189. * making any state changes.
  190. * ahead_start,
  191. * ahead_size: Together, these form the "ahead window".
  192. * ra_pages: The externally controlled max readahead for this fd.
  193. *
  194. * When readahead is in the off state (size == 0), readahead is disabled.
  195. * In this state, prev_page is used to detect the resumption of sequential I/O.
  196. *
  197. * The readahead code manages two windows - the "current" and the "ahead"
  198. * windows. The intent is that while the application is walking the pages
  199. * in the current window, I/O is underway on the ahead window. When the
  200. * current window is fully traversed, it is replaced by the ahead window
  201. * and the ahead window is invalidated. When this copying happens, the
  202. * new current window's pages are probably still locked. So
  203. * we submit a new batch of I/O immediately, creating a new ahead window.
  204. *
  205. * So:
  206. *
  207. * ----|----------------|----------------|-----
  208. * ^start ^start+size
  209. * ^ahead_start ^ahead_start+ahead_size
  210. *
  211. * ^ When this page is read, we submit I/O for the
  212. * ahead window.
  213. *
  214. * A `readahead hit' occurs when a read request is made against a page which is
  215. * the next sequential page. Ahead window calculations are done only when it
  216. * is time to submit a new IO. The code ramps up the size agressively at first,
  217. * but slow down as it approaches max_readhead.
  218. *
  219. * Any seek/ramdom IO will result in readahead being turned off. It will resume
  220. * at the first sequential access.
  221. *
  222. * There is a special-case: if the first page which the application tries to
  223. * read happens to be the first page of the file, it is assumed that a linear
  224. * read is about to happen and the window is immediately set to the initial size
  225. * based on I/O request size and the max_readahead.
  226. *
  227. * This function is to be called for every read request, rather than when
  228. * it is time to perform readahead. It is called only once for the entire I/O
  229. * regardless of size unless readahead is unable to start enough I/O to satisfy
  230. * the request (I/O request > max_readahead).
  231. */
