Jens Axboe 324bcf54c4 mm: use limited read-ahead to satisfy read
For the case where read-ahead is disabled on the file, or if the cgroup
is congested, ensure that we can at least do 1 page of read-ahead to
make progress on the read in an async fashion. This could potentially be
larger, but it's not needed in terms of functionality, so let's error on
the side of caution as larger counts of pages may run into reclaim
issues (particularly if we're congested).

This makes sure we're not hitting the potentially sync ->readpage() path
for IO that is marked IOCB_WAITQ, which could cause us to block. It also
means we'll use the same path for IO, regardless of whether or not
read-ahead happens to be disabled on the lower level device.

* |<----- 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
* it approaches max_readhead.
