+ * If the context is marked as not persistent, upon closing (either via
+ * an explicit DRM_I915_GEM_CONTEXT_DESTROY or implicitly from file closure
+ * or process termination), the context and any outstanding requests will be
+ * cancelled (and exported fences for cancelled requests marked as -EIO).
+ *
+ * By default, new contexts allow persistence.
