Alderlake changed UEFI variable name to 'RstVmdV' also and for VMD
devices, so check the updated name for VMD devices like it is
done in the SATA case.

Hi,

please have a look at the following mail:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-raid&m=165969352101643&w=2
Sorry for double-posting, I received rejection emails regarding HTML
content. Gmail switched to HTML.

Hi, the described issue applies specifically in the SYS_DEV_SATA (SATA
configuration) case, so it should not apply to SYS_DEV_VMD (VMD
configuration) one.

For me, the platform output looks reasonable (I have RAID 0 active):

#> sudo mdadm --detail-platform

 NVMe under VMD : /dev/nvme1n1 (S6P1NS0T318223V)

Without the patch the platform isn't even recognized. Common to both
changes is the usage of the new UEFI variable 'RstVmdV', not the
changes to the controller.

Oldrich.

Hello,

I've done test to check if your patch doesn't change way of recognizing
controllers. I've got two SATA controllers - first one with AHCI mode
and the other one with RAID MODE enabled. Command "mdadm
--detail-platform" should display info only about controller with RAID
MODE:

mdadm: imsm capabilities not found for controller:

But with your patch this command returns info about all controllers

Please analyze it.
Hi Kinga Tanska,

My patch touches only the VMD controllers. I see that there are no
changes to VMD display in your output. My patch is only about VMD.

I guess that your issue is identical to what you already wrote to RAID
mailing list 5th of August. Correct? I cannot investigate this for
you, I am neither the author of the change, nor I have RST enterprise
RAID controller, sorry. Please contact the patch submitter/author.
I just checked the patch code, I cannot debug this. You are most
probably affected by patch which you already identified:

  [PATCH 19/23] mdadm: enable Intel Alderlake RSTe configuration.

It tries to exclude SATA in AHCI mode (PCI class 0x010601) from
the changed EFI variable check. What is your `lspci -nn` output?
It could help in verifying that my guess is correct.

Cheers,
Oldrich.
