readahead: add look-ahead support to __do_page_cache_readahead()
Add look-ahead support to __do_page_cache_readahead().
It works by
- mark the Nth backwards page with PG_readahead,
(which instructs the page's first reader to invoke readahead)
- and only do the marking for newly allocated pages.
(to prevent blindly doing readahead on already cached pages)
Look-ahead is a technique to achieve I/O pipelining:
While the application is working through a chunk of cached pages, the kernel
reads-ahead the next chunk of pages _before_ time of need. It effectively
hides low level I/O latencies to high level applications.
