Read-ahead requests were previously executed in the context of the reading task. This blocks the reading task until the complete read with read-ahead transfer is finished. A read-ahead task is introduced to off-load the read-ahead transfer. This allows the reading task to work with the requested block more quickly. The read-ahead is triggered after two misses of ascending consecutive blocks or a read hit of a block read by the most-recent read-ahead transfer. The read-ahead feature is configurable and can be disabled.
This directory contains tests for some of the items in the lib directories. The intent is to be able to verify the basic functionality of a library. For example, it is important to know that the stack checker successfully detects tasks which both stay within and exceed their stack limits.
