When event enablement changes, user_events attempts to update a bit in the user process. If a fault is hit, an attempt to fault-in the page and the write is retried if the page made it in. While this normally requires a couple attempts, it is possible a bad user process could attempt to cause infinite loops. Ensure fault-in attempts either sync or async are limited to a max of 10 attempts for each update. When the max is hit, return -EFAULT so another attempt is not made in all cases.

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.
