When user provides large buffer for events and there are lots of events available, we can try to copy them all to userspace without scheduling which can softlockup the kernel (furthermore exacerbated by the contention on notification_lock). Add a scheduling point after copying each event. Note that usually the real underlying problem is the cost of fanotify event merging and the resulting contention on notification_lock but this is a cheap way to somewhat reduce the problem until we can properly address that.

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.
