+ * Adaptive read-ahead.
+ *
+ * Good read patterns are compact both in space and time. The read-ahead logic
+ * tries to grant larger read-ahead size to better readers under the constraint
+ * of system memory and load pressures.
+ *
+ * It employs two methods to estimate the max thrashing safe read-ahead size:
+ *   1. state based   - the default one
+ *   2. context based - the fail safe one
+ * The integration of the dual methods has the merit of being agile and robust.
+ * It makes the overall design clean: special cases are handled in general by
+ * the stateless method, leaving the stateful one simple and fast.
+ *
+ * To improve throughput and decrease read delay, the logic 'looks ahead'.
+ * In every read-ahead chunk, it selects one page and tag it with PG_readahead.
+ * Later when the page with PG_readahead is to be read, the logic knows that
+ * it's time to carry out the next read-ahead chunk in advance.
