/**
* DOC: Readahead Overview
*
* Readahead is used to read content into the page cache before it is
* explicitly requested by the application. Readahead only ever
* attempts to read folios that are not yet in the page cache. If a
* folio is present but not up-to-date, readahead will not try to read
* it. In that case a simple ->read_folio() will be requested.
*
* Readahead is triggered when an application read request (whether a
* system call or a page fault) finds that the requested folio is not in
* the page cache, or that it is in the page cache and has the
* readahead flag set. This flag indicates that the folio was read
* as part of a previous readahead request and now that it has been
* accessed, it is time for the next readahead.
*
* Each readahead request is partly synchronous read, and partly async
* readahead. This is reflected in the struct file_ra_state which
* contains ->size being the total number of pages, and ->async_size
* which is the number of pages in the async section. The readahead
* flag will be set on the first folio in this async section to trigger
* a subsequent readahead. Once a series of sequential reads has been
* established, there should be no need for a synchronous component and
* all readahead request will be fully asynchronous.
*
* When either of the triggers causes a readahead, three numbers need
* to be determined: the start of the region to read, the size of the
* region, and the size of the async tail.
*
* The start of the region is simply the first page address at or after
* the accessed address, which is not currently populated in the page
* cache. This is found with a simple search in the page cache.
*
* The size of the async tail is determined by subtracting the size that
* was explicitly requested from the determined request size, unless
* this would be less than zero - then zero is used. NOTE THIS
* CALCULATION IS WRONG WHEN THE START OF THE REGION IS NOT THE ACCESSED
* PAGE. ALSO THIS CALCULATION IS NOT USED CONSISTENTLY.
*
* The size of the region is normally determined from the size of the
* previous readahead which loaded the preceding pages. This may be
* discovered from the struct file_ra_state for simple sequential reads,
* or from examining the state of the page cache when multiple
* sequential reads are interleaved. Specifically: where the readahead
* was triggered by the readahead flag, the size of the previous
* readahead is assumed to be the number of pages from the triggering
* page to the start of the new readahead. In these cases, the size of
* the previous readahead is scaled, often doubled, for the new
* readahead, though see get_next_ra_size() for details.
*
* If the size of the previous read cannot be determined, the number of
* preceding pages in the page cache is used to estimate the size of
* a previous read. This estimate could easily be misled by random
* reads being coincidentally adjacent, so it is ignored unless it is
* larger than the current request, and it is not scaled up, unless it
* is at the start of file.
*
* In general readahead is accelerated at the start of the file, as
* reads from there are often sequential. There are other minor
* adjustments to the readahead size in various special cases and these
* are best discovered by reading the code.
*
* The above calculation, based on the previous readahead size,
* determines the size of the readahead, to which any requested read
* size may be added.
*
* Readahead requests are sent to the filesystem using the ->readahead()
* address space operation, for which mpage_readahead() is a canonical
* implementation. ->readahead() should normally initiate reads on all
* folios, but may fail to read any or all folios without causing an I/O
* error. The page cache reading code will issue a ->read_folio() request
* for any folio which ->readahead() did not read, and only an error
* from this will be final.
*
* ->readahead() will generally call readahead_folio() repeatedly to get
* each folio from those prepared for readahead. It may fail to read a
* folio by:
*
* * not calling readahead_folio() sufficiently many times, effectively
* ignoring some folios, as might be appropriate if the path to
* storage is congested.
*
* * failing to actually submit a read request for a given folio,
* possibly due to insufficient resources, or
*
* * getting an error during subsequent processing of a request.
*
* In the last two cases, the folio should be unlocked by the filesystem
* to indicate that the read attempt has failed. In the first case the
* folio will be unlocked by the VFS.
*
* Those folios not in the final ``async_size`` of the request should be
* considered to be important and ->readahead() should not fail them due
* to congestion or temporary resource unavailability, but should wait
* for necessary resources (e.g. memory or indexing information) to
* become available. Folios in the final ``async_size`` may be
* considered less urgent and failure to read them is more acceptable.
* In this case it is best to use filemap_remove_folio() to remove the
* folios from the page cache as is automatically done for folios that
* were not fetched with readahead_folio(). This will allow a
* subsequent synchronous readahead request to try them again. If they
* are left in the page cache, then they will be read individually using
* ->read_folio() which may be less efficient.

*
* |<----- async_size ---------|
* |------------------- size -------------------->|
* |==================#===========================|
* ^start ^page marked with PG_readahead
*
* 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 soon as there are
* only async_size pages left in the readahead window. Normally async_size
* will be equal to size, 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 (start+size-async_size) 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_pos tracks the last visited byte 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
