We ran into a funky issue, where someone doing 256K buffered reads saw 128K requests at the device level. Turns out it is read-ahead capping the request size, since we use 128K as the default setting. This doesn't make a lot of sense - if someone is issuing 256K reads, they should see 256K reads, regardless of the read-ahead setting, if the underlying device can support a 256K read in a single command. This patch introduces a bdi hint, io_pages. This is the soft max IO size for the lower level, I've hooked it up to the bdev settings here. Read-ahead is modified to issue the maximum of the user request size, and the read-ahead max size, but capped to the max request size on the device side. The latter is done to avoid reading ahead too much, if the application asks for a huge read. With this patch, the kernel behaves like the application expects.

|
|
* ^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.
