Execute the cmdparser asynchronously as part of the submission pipeline. Using our dma-fences, we can schedule execution after an asynchronous piece of work, so we move the cmdparser out from under the struct_mutex inside execbuf as run it as part of the submission pipeline. The same security rules apply, we copy the user batch before validation and userspace cannot touch the validation shadow. The only caveat is that we will do request construction before we complete cmdparsing and so we cannot know the outcome of the validation step until later -- so the execbuf ioctl does not report -EINVAL directly, but we must cancel execution of the request and flag the error on the out-fence.

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.
