Hello Daniel, Vitalii, The attachments that you uploaded to bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217114 namely dmesg_VMD_off and dmesg_VMD_on: dmesg_VMD_off:[ 1.020080] ahci 0000:00:17.0: AHCI 0001.0301 32 slots 1 ports 6 Gbps 0x1 impl SATA mode dmesg_VMD_off:[ 1.020095] ahci 0000:00:17.0: flags: 64bit ncq sntf pm clo only pio slum part deso sadm sds dmesg_VMD_off:[ 1.020645] ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0x80902000 port 0x80902100 irq 123 lpm-pol 0 dmesg_VMD_off:[ 1.330090] ata1: SATA link up 6.0 Gbps (SStatus 133 SControl 300) dmesg_VMD_on:[ 0.973901] ahci 10000:e0:17.0: AHCI 0001.0301 32 slots 1 ports 6 Gbps 0x1 impl SATA mode dmesg_VMD_on:[ 0.973904] ahci 10000:e0:17.0: flags: 64bit ncq sntf pm clo only pio slum part deso sadm sds dmesg_VMD_on:[ 0.974094] ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0x82102000 port 0x82102100 irq 142 lpm-pol 0 dmesg_VMD_on:[ 1.287221] ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 4 SControl 300) I assume that both of these logs are from the same kernel binary. Does this kernel binary have the Tiger Lake LPM enablement patch included? https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/patch/?id=104ff59af73aba524e57ae0fef70121643ff270e If so, since with Intel VMD turned off we can detect the SATA drive, but with Intel VMD turned on we do not, which strongly suggests that the problem is related to Intel VMD. In libata we perform a reset of the port at boot, see: libata-sata.c:sata_link_hardreset() after writing to SControl, we call libata-core.c:ata_wait_ready() that will poll for the port being ready by calling the check_ready callback. For AHCI, this callback funcion is set to: libahci.c:ahci_check_ready(). A reset should take the device out of deep power state and should be sufficient to establish a connection (and that also seems to be the case when not using Intel VMD). However, if you want to debug, I would start by adding prints to libata-sata.c:sata_link_hardreset() libata-core.c:ata_wait_ready() libahci.c:ahci_check_ready(). Vitalii, I noticed that the prints says "lpm-pol 0" Do you have: CONFIG_SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY set to 0? CONFIG_SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY=0 means do not touch any settings set by firmware. This means that this code: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.8-rc2/drivers/ata/libata-eh.c#L3572-L3579 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.8-rc2/drivers/ata/libata-eh.c#L3067-L3072 will not call ata_eh_set_lpm(), which means that ahci_set_lpm() will not be called, which means that sata_link_scr_lpm() will not be called. While this shouldn't make a difference, and I didn't check the code to see where "SATA link up" is printed, but possibly, when using VMD, perhaps it is so quick to put the device to a deeper power state after a reset, and with policy == 0, we will never send a ATA_LPM_WAKE_ONLY that sets PxCMD.ICC to the active state (brings the device out of sleep). Could you please try to set: CONFIG_SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY=3 and enable VMD again, and see if that makes you able to detect the SATA drive even with VMD enabled. Kind regards, Niklas
