In legacy sysfs GPIO, when using poll(2) on the sysfs GPIO value for state change awaiting, a subsequent read(2) is required for consuming the event, which the doc recommends the use of lseek(2) or close-and-reopen to reset the file offset afterwards. The recommendations however, require at least 2 syscalls to consume the event. Gladly, use of pread(2) require only 1 syscall for the consumption. Let's advertise this usage by prioritizing its placement.

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 reStructuredText 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.
