-Only one thread can poll on a semaphore or a FIFO at a time. If a second thread
-tries to poll on the same semaphore or FIFO, :c:func:`k_poll` immediately
-returns with the return value -:c:macro:`EADDRINUSE`. In that case, if other

+A list of pollers is offered on each semaphore or FIFO and as many events
+can wait in it as the app wants.
+Notice that the waiters will be served in first-come-first-serve order,
+not in priority order.
 
 In case of success, :c:func:`k_poll` returns 0. If it times out, it returns
