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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
