why epoll_wait delivers events more than once in ET mode on stdin

I have tested some cases and now I know that in the below code:http { lua_shared_dict test_shared 10m; server { ...

why epoll_wait delivers events more than once in ET mode on stdin

As my expectation, the following test code should only return from epoll_wait once, just like man page said:

"edge-triggered mode delivers events only when changes occur on the monitored file descriptor"

But in fact, the epoll_wait returned more than once, why?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/epoll.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <limits.h>
#define MAX_EVENTS 512

static char* get_epoll_events_str(uint32_t event);

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    int i,nfds;
    struct epoll_event event;
    struct epoll_event events[MAX_EVENTS];
    int fd = STDIN_FILENO; 
    int epfd = epoll_create1(0);
    if (epfd == -1) {
        perror("epoll_create1");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    event.events = EPOLLOUT | EPOLLET;
    event.data.u64 = 123;
    int ret = epoll_ctl(epfd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, fd, &event);
    if (ret == -1) {
        perror("epoll_ctl");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }
    while (1) {
        nfds = epoll_wait(epfd, events, MAX_EVENTS, -1);
        if (nfds == -1) {
            perror("epoll_wait");
            exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
        }
        printf("epoll_wait return %d\n", nfds);

        for (i = 0; i < nfds; i++) {
            char* str = get_epoll_events_str(events[i].events);
            printf("%dth fd's data.u64=%lu,event is %s\n",i,events[i].data.u64,str);
            free(str);
        }
        sleep(1);
    }
    return 0;
}

static char* get_epoll_events_str(uint32_t event) {
    char str[4096] = {0};

    if(event == 0)
    {
        return NULL;
    }
