seq_file: reset iterator to first record for zero offset If kernfs file is empty on a first read, successive read operations using the same file descriptor will return no data, even when data is available. Default kernfs 'seq_next' implementation advances iterator position even when next object is not there. Kernfs 'seq_start' for following requests will not return iterator as position is already on the second object. This defect doesn't allow to monitor badblocks sysfs files from MD raid. They are initially empty but if data appears at some stage, userspace is not able to read it.
