 * or an aborted kernfs_seq_start() due to get_active failure.  The
 * position pointer is the only context for each seq_file iteration and
 * thus the stop condition should be encoded in it.  As the return value is
 * directly visible to userland, ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) is the only acceptable
 * choice to indicate get_active failure.
 *
 * Unfortunately, this is complicated due to the optional custom seq_file
 * operations which may return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) too.  kernfs_seq_stop()
 * can't distinguish whether ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) is from get_active failure or
 * custom seq_file operations and thus can't decide whether put_active
 * should be performed or not only on ERR_PTR(-ENODEV).
 *
 * This is worked around by factoring out the custom seq_stop() and
 * put_active part into kernfs_seq_stop_active(), skipping it from
 * kernfs_seq_stop() if ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) while invoking it directly after
 * custom seq_file operations fail with ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) - this ensures
 * that kernfs_seq_stop_active() is skipped only after get_active failure.

/*
 * Kernfs attribute files are pollable.  The idea is that you read
 * the content and then you use 'poll' or 'select' to wait for
 * the content to change.  When the content changes (assuming the
 * manager for the kobject supports notification), poll will
 * return EPOLLERR|EPOLLPRI, and select will return the fd whether
 * it is waiting for read, write, or exceptions.
 * Once poll/select indicates that the value has changed, you
 * need to close and re-open the file, or seek to 0 and read again.
 * Reminder: this only works for attributes which actively support
 * it, and it is not possible to test an attribute from userspace
 * to see if it supports poll (Neither 'poll' nor 'select' return
 * an appropriate error code).  When in doubt, set a suitable timeout value.
