In a mixed read-write workload, write requests are easily affected by read requests, even if the backend object storage does not have such issue. This is because when the buffer is heavily used, write requests will be blocked until some buffers are released. However, the current read-ahead mechanism can easily cause read requests to occupy most of the buffer (up to 80%), regardless of whether these background read requests are useful.
It is better for the blocking conditions of read and write requests to be independent to avoid mutual interference.
