Once there * has been a decent run of sequential I/O (defined by get_min_readahead), * readahead is reenabled. * * 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.

Hits are good, and the window size (next_size) * is grown aggressively when hits occur. Two pages are added to the next * window size on each hit, which will end up doubling the next window size by * the time I/O is submitted for it. * * If readahead hits are more sparse (say, the application is only reading * every second page) then the window will build more slowly. * * On a readahead miss (the application seeked away) the readahead window is * shrunk by 25%. We don't want to drop it too aggressively, because it is a * good assumption that an application which has built a good readahead window * will continue to perform linear reads. Either at the new file position, or * at the old one after another seek. * * After enough misses, readahead is fully disabled. (next_size = -1UL). * * 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 half of the * device maximum. * * A page request at (start + size) is not a miss at all - it's just a part of * sequential file reading. * * This function is to be called for every page which is read, rather than when * it is time to perform readahead.
