 * On-demand readahead design.

 *       |-- 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.
