fix(linux): retry on shared memory when every DMA-BUF frame arrives corrupted - #1504
On niri with the NVIDIA proprietary driver, the stream negotiates DMA-BUF and then every chunk arrives with chunkSize=0 and SPA_CHUNK_FLAG_CORRUPTED. No frame ever reaches the encoder, and the app gives up after 10 s.
For a video session, that spare remote is now released on the first usable frame rather than on streaming, since these corrupted frames arrive after streaming.
The GPU-import branch of the shim now reports corrupted frames as well, so it hits the same retry.
Tests
New unit test a_corrupted_dmabuf_frame_counts_toward_the_shared_memory_retry.
cargo test on the helper under WSL Ubuntu: 105 passed. No new clippy warnings.
Not verified
No niri + NVIDIA machine has run this. The reporter of #1503 offered to test, so the CI AppImage goes to them next. A LINEAR-only second retry is out of scope here; it is the next step if shm also fails on their setup.
…orrupted
niri on the NVIDIA driver negotiates DMA-BUF, then marks every chunk
SPA_CHUNK_FLAG_CORRUPTED with size 0, so no frame ever reaches the encoder
and the app gives up after 10 s. After three such frames before any usable
one, reconnect through the retained portal remote offering shm alone, the
path the allocation-failure retry already takes. The GPU-import branch now
reports corrupted frames too, so it triggers the same retry.
Refs #1503
The PipeWire capture helper now reports corrupted DMA-BUF frames. After three qualifying reports, video capture retries using the retained portal grant with shared memory only. The existing pre-recording buffer-allocation fallback also uses the shared retry routine.
The GPU-import path reports corrupted chunks. The capture fallback code classifies producer-marked corrupted DMA-BUF reports, with tests for matching and non-matching reports.
Video sessions retain the fallback grant. After three qualifying frame-drop reports, the helper drops the current stream and reconnects with shared memory only. A usable frame releases the grant.
getopenscreen/openscreen#1406: It routes preferred DMA-BUF buffers through GPU import, the path where this change adds corrupted-frame reporting.
getopenscreen/openscreen#1446: It adds the shared-memory retry for allocation failures, which this change reuses for corrupted-frame reports.
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 77396
On affected DMA-BUF capture paths, recording can remain empty or stop despite an available shared-memory fallback. Resolve these fallback failures before merging.

This test checks only report classification. It cannot detect a missing counter increment or an early grant release. Add a test that sends three qualifying reports after streaming and checks for one shared-memory retry. Also check that a usable frame before the threshold prevents the retry.

2006 - 2013:
Extend the PipeWire capture tests around is_corrupted_dmabuf_frame to exercise
the retry lifecycle, not just report classification: after streaming starts,
send three qualifying reports and verify exactly one shared-memory retry occurs.
Add a separate case where a usable frame arrives before the threshold and verify
it prevents the retry; preserve the existing classification assertions.

- Around line 657-659: Update the PipeWire stream event handling around session
retirement so events are associated with their originating session and ignored
once that session is retired. Ensure queued errors from the old stream cannot
terminate the shared-memory retry before its first frame, while continuing to
handle events from the active session.
- Around line 1293-1295: Separate the corrupted DMA-BUF frame count in the
`corrupted` handling from the report budget consumed by other validation
failures. Ensure `corrupted_frames` can reach `CORRUPTED_FRAMES_BEFORE_RETRY`
and trigger the retry regardless of prior validation failures.

Report corruption before discarding zero-stride DMA-BUF chunks.
If CPU-mapped DMA-BUF chunks are marked corrupted with zero stride, the shim treats them as metadata-only. Repeated chunks never trigger the shared-memory retry, so capture can continue without video. Report corruption on this path while preserving uncorrupted metadata-only updates.

Discard events from the old session before handling the retry.
If the old stream queues an error after the third corrupted-frame report, the handler can terminate the shared-memory retry before its first frame. Tag stream events by session and ignore events from the retired session.

Retain the fallback until a frame stages successfully.
If the first DMA-BUF fails GPU import and later frames are marked corrupted, this releases the remote before the retry can run. Capture never starts. Keep the fallback until staging succeeds, and handle a shared-memory retry after Capture has been created.

Count corruption reports independently of other frame drops.
If three other validation failures occur first, the shim reports only two corrupted DMA-BUF frames before exhausting its five-report limit. The retry never starts, and capture can remain empty. Give corruption reports a separate budget so they can reach the retry threshold.
