Vasily Averin 86d32f9a7c keys: Fix proc_keys_next to increase position index
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
    0f6bfdf5 I--Q---     2 perm 3f010000  1000  1000 user      4af2f79ab8848d0a: 740
    1fb91b32 I--Q---     3 perm 1f3f0000  1000 65534 keyring   _uid.1000: 2
    27589480 I--Q---     1 perm 0b0b0000     0     0 user      invocation_id: 16
    2f33ab67 I--Q---   152 perm 3f030000     0     0 keyring   _ses: 2
    33f1d8fa I--Q---     4 perm 3f030000  1000  1000 keyring   _ses: 1
    3d427fda I--Q---     2 perm 3f010000  1000  1000 user      69ec44aec7678e5a: 740
    3ead4096 I--Q---     1 perm 1f3f0000  1000 65534 keyring   _uid_ses.1000: 1
    521+0 records in
    521+0 records out
    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 in
    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
    0+1 records in
    0+1 records out
    76 bytes copied, 0,000119981 s, 633 kB/s

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.
