+ * On-demand readahead design.
+ *
+ * The fields in struct file_ra_state represent the most-recently-executed
+ * readahead attempt:
+ *
+ *                    |-------- last readahead window -------->|
+ *       |-- application walking here -->|
+ * ======#============|==================#=====================|
+ *       ^la_index    ^ra_index          ^lookahead_index      ^readahead_index
+ *
+ * [ra_index, readahead_index) represents the last readahead window.
+ *
+ * [la_index, lookahead_index] is where the application would be walking(in
+ * the common case of cache-cold sequential reads): the last window was
+ * established when the application was at la_index, and the next window will
+ * be bring in when the application reaches lookahead_index.
+ *
+ * To overlap application thinking time and disk I/O time, we do
+ * `readahead pipelining': Do not wait until the application consumed all
+ * readahead pages and stalled on the missing page at readahead_index;
+ * Instead, submit an asynchronous readahead I/O as early as the application
+ * reads on the page at lookahead_index. Normally lookahead_index will be
+ * equal to ra_index, for maximum pipelining.
+ *
+ * In interleaved sequential reads, concurrent streams on the same fd can
+ * be invalidating each other's readahead state. So we flag the new readahead
+ * page at lookahead_index with PG_readahead, and use it as readahead
+ * indicator. The flag won't be set on already cached pages, to avoid the
+ * readahead-for-nothing fuss, saving pointless page cache lookups.
+ *
+ * prev_index tracks the last visited page in the _previous_ read request.
+ * It should be maintained by the caller, and will be used for detecting
+ * small random reads. Note that the readahead algorithm checks loosely
+ * for sequential patterns. Hence interleaved reads might be served as
+ * sequential ones.
+ *
+ * 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.
+ *
+ * The code ramps up the readahead size aggressively at first, but slow down as
+ * it approaches max_readhead.
