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

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

0+1 records in
0+1 records out
97 bytes copied, 0,

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
