+/**
+ * The purpose of fast read is to overcome per I/O overhead and improve IOPS
+ * especially for small I/O.
+ *
+ * To serve a read request, CLIO has to create and initialize a cl_io and
+ * then request DLM lock. This has turned out to have siginificant overhead
+ * and affects the performance of small I/O dramatically.
+ *
+ * It's not necessary to create a cl_io for each I/O. Under the help of read
+ * ahead, most of the pages being read are already in memory cache and we can
+ * read those pages directly because if the pages exist, the corresponding DLM
+ * lock must exist so that page content must be valid.
+ *
+ * In fast read implementation, the llite speculatively finds and reads pages
+ * in memory cache. There are three scenarios for fast read:
+ *   - If the page exists and is uptodate, kernel VM will provide the data and
+ *     CLIO won't be intervened;
+ *   - If the page was brought into memory by read ahead, it will be exported
+ *     and read ahead parameters will be updated;
+ *   - Otherwise the page is not in memory, we can't do fast read. Therefore,
+ *     it will go back and invoke normal read, i.e., a cl_io will be created
+ *     and DLM lock will be requested.
+ *
+ * POSIX compliance: posix standard states that read is intended to be atomic.
+ * Lustre read implementation is in line with Linux kernel read implementation
+ * and neither of them complies with POSIX standard in this matter. Fast read
+ * doesn't make the situation worse on single node but it may interleave write
+ * results from multiple nodes due to short read handling in ll_file_aio_read().
+ *
+ * \param env - lu_env
+ * \param iocb - kiocb from kernel
+ * \param iter - user space buffers where the data will be copied
