If seq_file .next function does not change position index,
read after some lseek can generate unexpected output:
$ dd if=/proc/keys bs=1 # full usual output

521 bytes copied, 0,00123769 s, 421 kB/s
But a read after lseek in middle of last line results in the partial
last line and then a repeat of the final line:
$ dd if=/proc/keys bs=500 skip=1
dd: /proc/keys: cannot skip to specified offset
g _uid_ses.1000: 1
3ead4096 I--Q--- 1 perm 1f3f0000 1000 65534 keyring _uid_ses.1000: 1

0+1 records out
97 bytes copied, 0,000135035 s, 718 kB/s
and a read after lseek beyond end of file results in the last line being
shown:
$ dd if=/proc/keys bs=1000 skip=1 # read after lseek beyond end of file
dd: /proc/keys: cannot skip to specified offset
3ead4096 I--Q--- 1 perm 1f3f0000 1000 65534 keyring _uid_ses.1000: 1

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.
