Good find, and the two-compositor reproduction makes it easy to follow. Probing the fd is the right shape for this — maxsize genuinely isn't trustworthy on that path.
Four things inline. The first two change what gets accepted; the last two are about being able to see what happened when it isn't.
Two notes that don't sit on a line:
- The
SPA_CHUNK_FLAG_CORRUPTEDcheck andstride < width * 4live in the shared helper, so they gate MemPtr/MemFd too, and the offset clamp there became a hard reject. The reject is equivalent in practice (the old clamp producedsize = 0, which failed the next check anyway), but the other two are new conditions on the shared-memory path. Testing here covers Sway and niri, both DMA-BUF, while mutter negotiates MemFd — worth a run on GNOME before this lands. - Your 58 tests never actually run on this PR. No CI job builds this crate: it's a separate cargo workspace, and
ci.yml's cargo jobs are scoped tocrates/. Nothing compilespw_shim.con a pull request either, so a C compile error here would merge green. That's not yours to fix — I'm adding the job separately.
I worked all four through with tests while reviewing, on claude/code-review-pr-386-qwv3zk in this repo, if it's useful to diff against. Happy to hand that over as a patch rather than have you redo it.

The && (size_t)probed > *len term means this only ever grows *len, so an over-declared maxsize still reaches mmap. The kernel refuses a dmabuf mapping longer than the object (dma_buf_mmap_internal returns -EINVAL when vm_pgoff + vma_pages(vma) > dmabuf->size >> PAGE_SHIFT), so the import fails and osc_map_dmabuf sets "this driver does not allow CPU mapping of the capture buffer" — the exact misdiagnosis this PR sets out to remove, with the right length already sitting in probed.
The fd is the authority in both directions: dma_buf_llseek returns exactly dmabuf->size. Dropping that last term covers the small-placeholder case you're fixing and the large one in the same line.

Dropping chunk->size outright is a wider change than the placeholder problem needs, because it also drops the clamp for producers that fill the field in honestly.
Measured against this branch, 1920x1080 in an 8 MiB mapping: strides from 7680 to 7767 are all accepted, where SPA_MIN(chunk->size, ...) took only 7680. A compositor reporting 7767 no longer gets dropped — it gets encoded, with every row sheared a bit further right. Same shape for a torn frame: a producer whose copy didn't finish reports a short chunk->size, and that's now read as a whole frame with the previous frame's pixels in the bottom half.
You can keep the fix and the clamp by weighing the value rather than the memory type — a chunk size too small to hold even one row isn't a byte count, so fall back to the mapping there, and believe anything at or above a row:
if (data_type == SPA_DATA_DmaBuf && (uint64_t)chunk_size < row_bytes) {
size = available - offset;
} else {
size = SPA_MIN((size_t)chunk_size, available - offset);
}The 9 and 1 you found are three orders of magnitude below a row, so wlr and niri keep working, while a half-written frame stays clamped. Needs frame_bytes/row_bytes computed above this point.

Every reason this reports is decided by stride, geometry and the mapped length — all fixed for a whole negotiation. So a buffer that fails validation once fails for the rest of the session, and the user gets a file with no frames in it. Behind an env var, nothing says why.
Nothing downstream can fill the gap either: a rejected frame never reaches the mailbox, so FrameMailbox::dropped stays at 0 and frames-dropped never fires; the session still stops "successfully" with frames: 0.
Seventy lines up, osc_on_add_buffer deliberately routes the mmap failure through session->callbacks.on_buffer_info — "a mapping failure here means no frames at all, and silence would read as a hang". Identical symptom, opposite treatment. osc_frame_bounds_error_name already computes the string, so sending the first drop up a callback is most of the work.
One caveat if you reuse on_buffer_info for it: that import-failure call passes has_cursor_meta = 0, and main.rs then emits no-cursor-metadata for it — so today a capture that produced zero frames reaches the user as a cursor-metadata warning. A separate callback avoids inheriting that.

The if (data->chunk->size == 0) gate six lines up still treats chunk->size as authoritative for DMA-BUF, which is what the new comment at line 799 argues against — and it returns before this call, so that drop never reaches osc_report_frame_drop even with debug on.
It also splits the contract the new tests are asserting: osc_pw_frame_bounds_valid(DmaBuf, chunk_size = 0, 8 MiB mapping, sane geometry) returns true, while osc_read_frame drops that same buffer two statements earlier. None of the 13 assertions passes chunk_size = 0, so the suite certifies a behaviour the reader doesn't have.
Folding it into osc_resolve_frame_bounds as its own outcome keeps the cursor-only case working (the caller just returns without reporting) and makes the tested helper and the real reader answer the same question.

Thanks for putting this together in a6cd321. I was thinking of cherry picking it as the base and then adding a small follow up commit, but wanted to check two things first. From what I understand, the PipeWire DMA-BUF docs say consumers should ignore both Also the fd deduplication only uses the fd and doesn’t account for The other main changes in the patch look good to me. Once we agree on these two parts, I can cherry pick it and make the small follow up changes. |

You're right on both.
One catch:
|
Follow-up to the frame-bounds change, from reviewing it. Each item below is a case where the code held the right answer and discarded it. The lseek probe now wins in BOTH directions. Preferring it only when it was LARGER left an over-declared maxsize as the mmap length, and the kernel refuses a dmabuf mapping longer than the object, so the import died reporting a driver that will not map — the exact misdiagnosis this path exists to prevent, with the correct length already in hand. A failed mmap now blames the right party. SPA_DATA_FLAG_MAPPABLE exists because "some memory types are not simply mappable (DmaBuf) unless explicitly specified with this flag", so when the producer left it unset it had already answered the question, and pointing at the GPU driver sends the reader somewhere else. chunk->size is weighed rather than trusted or ignored wholesale. Discarding it for every DMA-BUF buffer widened the accepted window to the whole allocation: at 1920x1080 in an 8 MiB mapping any stride from 7680 to 7767 was taken, and a half-written frame passed as a whole one. A chunk too small to hold one row is not a byte count and the mapping is the only bound left; anything at or above a row is believed. Placeholder backends (xdpw writes 9, niri writes 1) keep working, torn frames are refused again. The zero-chunk gate moved into the resolver. It sat in osc_read_frame alone, so the exported bound check accepted a buffer the reader silently refused — a contract the tests certified and the code did not implement. Frame drops reach the event stream. Every reason here is decided by values fixed for a whole negotiation, so a buffer that fails once fails every time and the recording comes out empty; a refused frame never reaches the mailbox, so frames-dropped stays at 0 and the session still stops "successfully". They went only to stderr behind OPENSCREEN_PIPEWIRE_DEBUG. That channel is new rather than borrowed. The dmabuf import failure used to ride on on_buffer_info with has_cursor_meta hardcoded to 0, so in the default cursor mode a capture that produced no frames at all was surfaced to the user as a cursor-metadata warning. Two silent failures now speak: a full mapping table (the loop fell through saying nothing on any channel, and every later lookup missed), and duplicate fds — several pw_buffers can be slices of one allocation, and the second mapping was a whole extra allocation that nothing would ever read. Tests: the exported helper reports WHICH bound rejected instead of a bare yes/no, so a reordering of the checks cannot keep the suite green, and the cases are built from a named baseline rather than nine positional integers. Adds the coverage that was missing entirely — the geometry gate on all six axes, MemPtr, and the empty chunk. Verified by mutation: reverting the chunk clamp, dropping either new geometry term, or removing the zero gate each turns a test red.

Summary
Follow-up to #299 and #319.
I could still reproduce a DMA-BUF read failure on Arch Linux when PipeWire provided placeholder size metadata instead of the DMA-BUF allocation length.
Two different cases were observed:
maxsize = 0andchunk_size = 9.maxsize = 1andchunk_size = 1.In both cases, the DMA-BUF file descriptor exposed a valid larger allocation, but checking the frame against the placeholder values caused it to be rejected before reaching the encoder.
The fix does not match compositor-specific values. It probes the DMA-BUF file descriptor for its allocation length and validates the frame offset and
stride × heightagainst the mapped allocation. The shared-memory path retains its existing size checks.Original Sway reproduction:
