In the course of discovering and closing many races with context closure and execbuf submission, since commit61231f6bd0("drm/i915/gem: Check that the context wasn't closed during setup") we started checking that the context was not closed by another userspace thread during the execbuf ioctl. In doing so we cancelled the inflight request (by telling it to be skipped), but kept reporting success since we do submit a request, albeit one that doesn't execute. As the error is known before we return from the ioctl, we can report the error we detect immediately, rather than leave it on the fence status. With the immediate propagation of the error, it is easier for userspace to handle.

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.
