Pull request overview
Increases Docker container shared memory for Linux desktop sanity tests to prevent crashes caused by /dev/shm exhaustion in default Docker configurations (notably in CI containers).
Changes:
- Add
--shm-size=2gto the sanity-testdocker runinvocation to avoid shared-memory-backed allocation failures.

We may want it in the release branch as sanity tests may be failing there as well. |

The Fedora and Debian desktop sanity tests crash shortly after launch (SIGTRAP) when run inside the Docker containers. The aborts originate from two software-compositor allocation paths, both backed by shared memory on Linux:
Docker gives a container a default
/dev/shmof only 64 MB. Once shared memory fills, the SharedImage and discardable allocations fail crashing the process.Fixes #318542
