Make VAAPI PRIME optional in Linux builds.
build_ffmpeg_ram runs for every build. On Linux, it always compiles ffmpeg_vaapi_prime.cpp and emits -lva and -lva-drm. The Rust prime module is also enabled for every Linux build. A Linux build without the VAAPI development libraries therefore fails at link time, even when only normal RAM decoding is used.
Add a dedicated Cargo feature for PRIME. Gate the PRIME source, link directives, and Rust module with that feature. Keep the existing non-PRIME RAM sources unconditional. The repository has no other direct va or va-drm link directives, and its README documents VAAPI codec support but does not require PRIME for Linux builds.

FFmpeg AVDRMFrameDescriptor VAAPI AVDRMLayerDescriptor nb_layers multi-layer NV12 H264 HEVC
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In FFmpeg, the AVDRMFrameDescriptor structure is used to describe Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) frames for hardware-accelerated video processing, particularly when using the AV_PIX_FMT_DRM_PRIME pixel format [1][2]. The structure organizes frame data into objects and layers [1]: nb_layers: Specifies the number of layers in the frame [1]. A layer represents a specific format and layout (e.g., a specific plane or set of planes) within the frame [3]. layers: An array of AVDRMLayerDescriptor structures, where each layer contains its own format, number of planes (nb_planes), and plane-specific information such as offsets, pitches, and object indexes [4][1]. Regarding multi-layer support (e.g., for NV12, H264, or HEVC): - A frame can be described either as a single layer with multiple planes (e.g., a single-object NV12 frame) or as a multi-layer descriptor where each layer might have one or more planes [3]. - When using multi-layer descriptors, ambiguity can arise regarding the overall frame format, which led to the addition of a format field to the AVDRMFrameDescriptor struct to explicitly define the frame's DRM_FORMAT_* type [3][5]. - For VAAPI, the hwcontext implementation requires that the frame be made from a single DRM object (nb_objects == 1) [6][7]. The implementation maps the DRM frame to a VAAPI surface by iterating through the layers and matching them against known VAAPI DRM format mappings to determine the correct VAAPI fourcc [7][8]. In summary, the AVDRMFrameDescriptor provides the flexibility to describe complex, multi-plane, and multi-layer layouts necessary for modern video formats, while specific hardware backends like VAAPI enforce their own constraints (such as single-object requirements) on how these descriptors are imported and utilized [6][7][5].

Do not assume that every multi-layer descriptor is NV12.
FFmpeg permits a multi-layer NV12 descriptor, such as R8 plus RG88, but nb_layers > 1 does not establish the frame format. This decoder selects VAAPI for H.264 and HEVC without restricting the decoded surface format, then maps the result to DRM PRIME. A non-NV12 multi-layer descriptor can therefore reach fill_prime and receive incorrect fourcc metadata.
Reject unsupported layouts, or preserve the descriptor’s overall format and layer grouping in FFmpegPrimeFrame.

Close descriptors before overwriting a successful output.
If one packet produces multiple frames, each successful fill_prime call duplicates descriptors. The next call clears out and loses the previous descriptor integers without closing them.
Close the current output descriptors before another fill_prime call, or retain each decoded frame separately. Based on learnings, every path that owns duplicated bare file descriptors must explicitly close them.

Remove shallow Clone and Copy from PrimeFrame.
These traits copy descriptor integers without calling dup. If the decoder closes last, every copied frame contains stale descriptors. If two copies call close_fds, they can close the same descriptor or a descriptor that the OS has reused.
Make PrimeFrame a non-Copy RAII owner with Drop. Implement cloning only by duplicating each descriptor. Based on learnings, bare file descriptors do not acquire independent ownership through an integer copy.

Needed by RustDesk split D (Wayland zero-copy present). FFmpeg stays in this crate; RustDesk will only import dma-buf in its Linux renderer.
What this does
On Linux,
ffmpeg_vaapi_prime_new/decode/freerunh264/hevcthrough VAAPI and map the result toAV_PIX_FMT_DRM_PRIME. The caller receives dup'd fds plus pitches/offsets/modifier.Rust API:
hwcodec::ffmpeg_ram::prime::VaapiPrimeDecoder.Windows/macOS and the existing RAM decoder path are unchanged.
Why
RustDesk should not grow a second FFmpeg decoder under
flutter/linux. This is theDecodedFrame::Gpupiece for Linux.Depends: nothing in rustdesk yet. Follow-up PR there will consume this API.
