Ran the QSV probe on the Intel VM (UHD 750, FFmpeg 8). It fails — and not in the
code it was written to cover:
[AVHWDeviceContext] Error setting child device handle: -16
ZeroCopyInner::open(QSV) failed on iteration 0: derive QSV device from D3D11VA
That is `MFX_ERR_UNDEFINED_BEHAVIOR` out of `MFXVideoCORE_SetHandle`, raised inside
`av_hwdevice_ctx_create_derived` — libav's own code, called with the same arguments
as before this branch. Confirmed pre-existing by A/B: the same probe, written against
unmodified `origin/main` with the raw-pointer struct, fails byte-identically on the
same box at the same first iteration. The ownership change is not implicated.
It is also not the hardware. `qsv::tests::qsv_encode_live_smoke` — the native VPL
backend, untouched by this branch — encodes real H.264 on that box via VPL 2.15 with
its own D3D11 zero-copy. So QSV works; libav's QSV-from-D3D11VA derive is what does
not. That matches `zerocopy_active` already defaulting QSV **off** pending Intel
validation, and is now a measured fact rather than a suspicion. The test stays,
`#[ignore]`d, with the finding in its doc comment so the next Intel driver / FFmpeg
bump re-checks it instead of the question being quietly dropped.
What that leaves is real coverage of the half that IS reachable anywhere:
`d3d11hw_alloc_drop_cycles` loops construct/drop on `D3d11Hw`, the hwdevice +
frames-pool pair both Windows zero-copy vendors share, so it covers the AMF path's
ownership without needing AMD hardware. **It passes on the Intel box: 8 cycles, no
abort.** Adapter selection is factored into `test_hw_device`, which prefers a vendor
and skips the Microsoft Basic Render Driver — a punktfunk host enumerates our own
virtual-display adapter too, so `EnumAdapters1(0)` is not a safe assumption.
Verified: QSV VM .47 full `pf-encode --features amf-qsv` suite 39 passed / 0 failed
(EXITCODE=0), with `d3d11hw_alloc_drop_cycles` green on real silicon. Linux .21
workspace check exit 0 / zero errors, pf-encode 33/0, pf-client-core 34/0.
