ChangesRAM encoder input ownership
Priority: ➖ Normal Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Change: Bug fix Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The encoder now copies caller frames into its own buffers, which fixes the lifetime problem. However, input size validation can still accept slightly truncated YUV420P or NV12 buffers for unusual stride alignments or odd frame heights, which can cause a read past the end of the caller's buffer. Ordinary Rust callers appear unaffected, so this is a bounded follow-up, but fixing the length check before merge would make the "truncated input fails" guarantee hold. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Validate the complete input length before av_image_copy.
The YUV420P check truncates odd chroma strides. With align == 1, width 66, and height 34, the chroma strides can be 33. The check uses 33 / 2, but av_image_copy reads 17 rows of 33 bytes from each chroma plane. A truncated input can pass validation and cause an out-of-bounds read.
Odd heights are also unsafe. The chroma planes contain (height + 1) / 2 rows, while both calculate_offset_length and fill_frame use height / 2. Rust rejects odd heights, but the C++ FFI accepts them.
Use the length returned by ffmpeg_ram_get_linesize_offset_length for both format checks. Update the helper to use the ceiling chroma height so that its returned length and offsets match av_image_copy.

I reviewed PR #47 against the current head 1. 🔴 Blocker: YUV420P length validation can still allow an out-of-bounds readIn frame->height * (
input_linesize_[0] +
input_linesize_[1] / 2 +
input_linesize_[2] / 2)The division happens on the stride, which is wrong when the chroma stride is odd. For example: Actual required size: but the current check effectively uses: so it underestimates the buffer. A truncated Rust slice can therefore pass validation, and This is not just theoretical: FFmpeg allows FFmpeg's I would fix this by keeping the exact input length calculated at initialization and simply doing: if (data_length < input_length_)
return -1;Also fix const int chroma_height = (height + 1) / 2;and add at least: align = 1
width = 66to 2. 🟠 Performance: retained-frame path now does two full image copiesThe PR description says:
but for the exact QSV situation that triggered this PR, it can actually do two. The path becomes: FFmpeg explicitly documents that Since A better hot-path design would be: if I wouldn't necessarily block the correctness fix solely on this, but for 4K desktop encoding I'd address it or at minimum benchmark it. The reproduced QSV workload is precisely the case where the extra COW copy will happen frequently. OverallThe central change—stop pointing I'd therefore recommend: fix the length calculation before merge, and strongly consider eliminating the redundant COW copy.

hwcodec: second pass for hangs, CPU use, memory and leaksThis pass looked beyond memory safety at hangs, deadlocks, CPU spins, resource leaks and thread safety, and at how RustDesk drives hwcodec. Six reviewers each covered one of those areas. Three independent verifiers then checked each finding: one re-traced the code, one checked whether it can actually happen, and one tested whether the consequence was overstated. A finding survived only if at least two of the three did not refute it. A completeness check then ran a second, targeted round. Summary. Normal use showed no guaranteed deadlock and no unbounded 100%-CPU loop. The issues with real impact are of two kinds:
Each item is labelled confirmed (at least two verifiers confirmed it) or plausible (the mechanism holds, but the trigger or the consequence could not be fully established from the code). Correction to the first reviewThe first review said only QSV holds a reference to the RAM encoder's input frame after
PR #47's copy fixes these as well. In RustDesk the practical effect was small: the caller's buffer is a reused Hangs and deadlocks1. The timeout constants do not bound any blocking call (confirmed; medium)The encode and decode loops in In the main process, the caller's video thread therefore blocks for as long as the backend does. In the Minor: the RAM encoder uses Fix: moving the timer earlier would not help. A blocking call can only be bounded by a watchdog outside it, in another thread or process. Make the check report each backend's result as soon as it finishes, and record a backend that times out as unsupported. 2. Two unbounded QSV loops in FFmpeg (plausible; low)

Cache the full initialized input length and reject invalid input before allocation or copying. Reuse writable buffers; otherwise allocate with the original alignment without copying old pixels. Keep the original chroma formulas for the even-dimension API contract. Combine 1731aae and 6cd7702, including their runtime comparison fixtures.
Stop on GetData errors, bound polling with a steady-clock deadline, and report failed shader completion through the existing decode error path. Keep codec send/receive behavior unchanged. Compare the production Query method and decoder FFI against 04f2d8e: eight failing cases become passing, and three successful cases remain passing.

The RAM encoder could read freed caller memory after
Encoder::encode(&mut self, data: &[u8], ...)returned. This was reproduced with 4K H.264 QSV and temporary input buffers. The runtime changes below keep retained input pixels alive, validate the complete input layout, and propagate GPU completion failures.Remote PR head:
d3305fb. Unpushed local history:f08ff39->15f7a30(minimal RAM input validation) ->55e927b(GPU Query failures).15f7a30directly replaces04f2d8e; the subsequent3ccfe51and248be3ecorrections are folded into it. The RAM runtime diff relative tof08ff39is +4/-2 lines: a null-input guard and corrected YUV420P length arithmetic. The final source tree is identical to the already-tested248be3etree, and the separate GPU patch is unchanged. No code has been pushed.Each runtime item below explains the final change and its before/after comparison. Commit consolidation changed history only, so the recorded comparisons apply to the identical source files at the new revisions.
1. Keep RAM input pixels in AVFrame-owned storage — f08ff39
Why: Previously,
fill_frame()redirectedframe->data[]into the caller's buffer whileframe->buf[]owned a different allocation. Retaining an AVFrame reference therefore did not retain the actual pixels. The caller could release its Rust slice after the call, leaving the codec with dangling pointers. CDB captured a read access violation inav_frame_make_writable -> av_frame_copy -> av_image_copy -> memcpy.Change: Copy NV12/YUV420P input into the AVFrame's own buffers. Codec references then keep those pixels alive after the caller overwrites or releases its input.
Before/after test: Compile the same fixture against the production source at
febec27,f08ff39and15f7a30. Retain a realav_frame_clone(), encode pixels containing 85, then overwrite the caller buffer with zero. Allocation, references and copying use real FFmpeg; codec opening and packet I/O are injected.febec27f08ff39/15f7a30The lifetime checks also pass after releasing the caller buffer, subsequent submissions and encoder cleanup. This fixes ownership in the shared RAM wrapper; the observed hardware crash was QSV, not a reproduction on every backend.
Earlier hardware validation at
f08ff39used Windows 11, Intel UHD 730 (31.0.101.3302), NVIDIA GTX 1650 (591.86), and FFmpeg 7.1.1. Temporary inputs were released after each call without an input-retention workaround:These hardware results apply to
f08ff39; later changes have deterministic regression coverage, not a rerun of this hardware matrix. Timestamps were simulated; these were not full remote-session or real-time scheduling tests. AMD/AMF and other operating systems were not exercised.2. Keep source strides independent of destination strides — f08ff39
Why: Replacing a writable frame can change its layout. The caller still uses the layout returned by initialization, so interpreting input with the replacement frame's strides reads the wrong rows.
Change: Cache input strides during initialization and pass source and destination strides separately to
av_image_copy().Before/after test: Use a 66×34 image initialized with alignment 256, replace the destination with a default-aligned frame, and fill source rows with distinct values. In both NV12 and YUV420P, the first byte of the second row is 85 (padding) at
febec27, versus the expected 2 at bothf08ff39and15f7a30. This exercises genuinely different source/destination strides.3. Correct YUV420P length arithmetic in the original check — local 15f7a30, not pushed
Why: The old
fill_frame()check divides each chroma stride by two before multiplying by height. With 66×34 YUV420P and alignment 1, both chroma strides are 33: the old check requires only 3332 bytes while the source layout requires 3366. Even dimensions do not imply even chroma strides.Change: Correct the YUV420P expression to
height * input_linesize_[0] + (height / 2) * (input_linesize_[1] + input_linesize_[2]). Keep the originalfill_frame()parameters, source offsets and validation order. NV12 validation and the originalav_frame_make_writable()call are unchanged; no cached input-length field or manual buffer allocation is introduced.Before/after test: Use the same fixture with the original
f08ff39source and the final RAM source at15f7a30. Allocation, references and copies use real FFmpeg; codec opening and I/O are injected. Declare a length of 3365 for the 3366-byte YUV420P layout, retaining sufficient backing storage to observe invalid acceptance safely.The original source fails the YUV420P short-input check. The final source passes all 16 comparison checks across both formats, the null-input check, 96 even-dimension layouts, and 10 lifetime/reuse scenarios. Source and destination strides remain separate, including when FFmpeg changes the destination stride on buffer replacement. A non-null short input can cause the original make-writable operation before rejection, but the short input is neither copied from nor submitted.
4. Reject a null input pointer at encode entry — local 15f7a30, not pushed
Why: A valid declared length does not make a null source pointer safe to copy.
av_frame_make_writable()handles the destination frame, not the caller's source pointer.Change: Add
if (!data) return -1;before the original make-writable call. Non-null input lengths are validated by the existing checks described in item 3.Before/after test: Pass a null input with a valid declared length in an isolated child process. At
f08ff39the child exits with access violation0xC0000005; with the final source at15f7a30it returns -1, performs no replacement allocation and submits nothing. The public signature is unchanged.5. Stop GPU Query polling on hard errors and elapsed-time expiry — local 55e927b, not pushed
Why:
NativeDevice::Query()continued polling after hard GetData errors. Its attempt-count limit also assumed short sleeps: a requested 1 ms sleep can last much longer, so 901 sleeps can greatly exceed the intended wait.Change: Return false immediately on a failed HRESULT. Use a steady-clock deadline based on the existing 1000 ms decode timeout. Require both S_OK and a completed event. Keep the existing initial 100 polls before sleeping, so promptly completed queries still avoid a sleep.
Before/after test: Compile the exact production Query method body from
15f7a30and55e927bwith scripted GetData, a fake steady clock, and a simulated 16 ms duration for each Sleep(1). These are deterministic simulated timings, not measurements from a hung GPU.All 8 checks pass after the change; 6 fail against the old method as expected. The deadline cannot interrupt a GetData call blocked inside the driver, and scheduler delays can carry a sleep past the deadline.
6. Propagate shader completion failure from VRAM decode — local 55e927b, not pushed
Why: The shader conversion path ignored Query's return value, delivered the output texture and reported success even when GPU work had failed or timed out.
Change: Check Query after EndQuery; if it fails, stop conversion and return a decode error before invoking the callback for that frame. On conversion failure, clear the existing decoded flag before leaving through the original cleanup path. This prevents earlier output in the same call from hiding the failure.
Before/after test: Use a real WARP NV12 texture, inject successful frame receives and conversion, then make Query return false. Observe the public
ffmpeg_vram_decode()result and output callbacks.Both failure comparisons pass after the change. A successful two-frame output case passes before and after, returning 0 and delivering both frames. GPU loss and timeout enter this same false-result path; no real device-removal experiment is claimed.
Reproducing the runtime comparisons
From an x64 MSVC developer PowerShell with
VCPKG_ROOTset to the existing static FFmpeg installation:The same comparison fixture is used on each revision. Old revisions intentionally report failures for bugs present in them; per-case observed values are saved under
target/ram-comparison/<revision>/andtarget/codec-comparison/<revision>/. Run these commands from the localfix/ram-encoder-input-lifetimebranch at55e927b, which contains the comparison fixtures and has not yet been pushed. The selected production source is extracted from git and compiled against the same installed dependencies; this is not a rebuild of every historical dependency. Public runtime API signatures are unchanged.
