Shouldn't this be max() instead of rounddown()?
Hm, io_pages is limited by driver setting too, and io_pages can be lower than ra_pages, e.g. usb storage.
Assuming ra_pages is user intent of readahead window. So if io_pages is lower than ra_pages, this try ra_pages to align of io_pages chunk, but not bigger than ra_pages. Because if block layer splits I/O requests to hard limit, then I/O is not optimal.
So it is intent, I can be misunderstanding though.
