/*
 * 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_index:  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.
 * offset:      Offset in the prev_index where the last read ended - used for
 *              detection of sequential file reading.
 * 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_index 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).
