Hello, Sorry for getting in so late on the conversation but I want to make sure we are not going to break some platforms with this change. Excuse me if I am simply repeating what was being said before.
1. We can’t have SataControllerDxe report supported for all raid interface devices on the market. As far as I know Intel RAID is rather special in that it implements AHCI interface underneath and if we encounter a RAID controller like that we will falsely claim that we support it. It’s hard to say whether this will have any consequences for the data integrity on the RAID array but at the very least we will prevent appropriate driver from binding to this RAID controller(potentially unbootable system). 2. On newer Intel systems(not sure about G33) we have a dedicated RAID driver(RST driver) which will bind to integrated SATA in RAID mode. On such systems we have both RST driver and traditional SATA stack(SataControllerDxe, AtaAtapiPassThru etc) to allow runtime change between AHCI and RAID modes. If SataControllerDxe starts claiming SATA controller it will potentially make the system unbootable in RAID mode(if RAID is configured). What is more on those systems going through RAID config with volume managed by RST to standard AHCI config will corrupt RAID volumes. I can’t go into details on why is that but it has to do with how RST configures GPT partition. In summary I don’t think we can add simple checks for RAID mode. Even adding a build flag could be potentially problematic since on desktop systems you never know what kind of controller user will plug in their slots. One potential solution would be to keep a list of controllers which do support AHCI interface even though they are reporting RAID class code but even then the solution could potentially break systems with both RST and AHCI stack present. Maybe we should have a platform provided protocol that would say whether AHCI drivers should load on such RAID controller?

And due to that interface being vendor-specific, Intel controllers work fine. I am not positive more logic is needed since it is opt-in. These patches are not new, and so far they worked reliably on a broad amount of systems for several years. From what it looks like, you are strongly opposed to getting this land into EDK II mainline, since it is too specific (at least that is how I understand your arguments). If this is the case, I guess we could abandon these changes.

There is no guarantee what so ever that the controller that passes IS_PCI_RAID() check has a SATA interface. There are lost of risks in using this macro to see if it is a SATA controller (even if enabled by a PCD). You need to add more logic to even know it is safe to assume SATA registers.

Could you help to change the BZ tracker https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3118 to a "Tiano Feature Requests"? For me, it looks more like a feature request. Sure, done. 2. Could you help to include 'AtaAtapiPassThru' in the BZ tracker subject for better reference? Also done. 3. For Patch 2/2, is there any reason to clear the bits: EFI_ATA_PASS_THRU_ATTRIBUTES_PHYSICAL EFI_EXT_SCSI_PASS_THRU_ATTRIBUTES_PHYSICAL If the drives are intended to be used as non-RAID devices, I think both the ATTRIBUTES_PHYSICAL & ATTRIBUTES_LOGICAL should be set for the controller according to the UEFI Spec. I am not quite positive why this was needed (the patch was prepared a few months ago), but I will make a comment in V2 when we test it on real hardware. I think it was required to take the right path in the driver. DuetPkg was removed from edk2. If the change is specially for DUET use case, I am afraid we cannot accept this change. This is not the DuetPkg from EDK II, but ours[1]. Thus your claim does not apply. I agree it would be better to configure the platform so the SATA controller is in its non-RAID mode. Agree, but in this case it is not feasible. If the controller is in RAID mode, then the OS that is booted may have a SATA RAID driver that can configure the drives in RAID mode. Then, if the UEFI FW treats it as non RAID, it may not be bootable, and configuration actions in UEFI may corrupt data on the RAID configured drives. For this reason, I am not in favor of adding a PCD. Actually some operating systems have to introduce workarounds for this as well, and no, in this particular case the OS does not treat the drive as RAID either. If there are no other review comments besides the attributes, I will proceed with V2 in the coming days.

Hello Ray, My understanding to the proposed PCD is that drives behind a RAID mode SATA controller can be configured to working in non-RAID mode (acting like individual drives).
