Blindly expanding the readahead windows will cause unneccessary
pagecache thrashing and also will introdue the network workload.
s/introdue/introduce/

Will fix it.


We should disable expanding the windows if the readahead is disabled
and also shouldn't expand the windows too much.

Expanding forward firstly instead of expanding backward for possible
sequential reads.

Bound `rreq->len` to the actual file size to restore the previous page
cache usage.

The posix_fadvise may change the maximum size of a file readahead.

Will fix it.


Apart from above two typo, LGTM.

I also tested this patch with our workload. Reading the first 16k images
from ImageNet dataset (1.69GiB) takes about 1.8Gi page cache (as
reported by `free -h'). This is expected.

For the fadvise use-case, I use `fio' to do the test:
$ fio --name=rand --size=32M --fadvise_hint=1 --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=128 --rw=randread --bs=4k --filesize=2G

after the test, page cache increased by about 35Mi, which is expected.
So if appropriate:

Thanks for your tests and reviewing.

However, also note random reading to a large file without fadvise still
suffers from degradation. e.g., this test:
$ fio --name=rand --size=32M --fadvise_hint=0 --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=128 --rw=randread --bs=4k --filesize=2G

will load nearly every page of the 2Gi test file into page cache,
although I only need 32Mi of them.

This is another issue since this patch just to fix blindly expanding readahead windows, please send one following patch to fix it.

Thanks
