  * stream_open is used by subsystems that want stream-like file descriptors.
  * Such file descriptors are not seekable and don't have notion of position
- * (file.f_pos is always 0). Contrary to file descriptors of other regular
- * files, .read() and .write() can run simultaneously.
+ * (file.f_pos is always 0 and ppos passed to .read()/.write() is always NULL).

  * stream_open never fails and is marked to return int so that it could be
  * directly used as file_operations.open .
