Latest (I think) systemd update seems to have broken RAID RST/VMD

On this latest update to Linux kernel 6.17.3-arch1-1 and systemd 258.1-1 I can no longer boot into my system when Intel RST/VMD is enabled.

I have an m.2 RAID10 array I run with Intel VMD on my mobo as well as an instance that's just on an individual m.2 drive. After updating the instance on the RAID array earlier this afternoon I had rebooted and the system could no longer find any of the disks. Thinking that it was just me being an idiot in one way shape or form I decided to update the non-RAID instance and it too had the same issues.

But, once I turn off Intel VMD, the single disk instance boots fine.

On both instances, with VMD enabled, I go to reboot once it goes to timeout and there will be three udev-worker, and one systemd-udevd process that hang. Shortly after I'll get all five of my m.2 disks giving me:

systemd-udevd[322] {pcie address}: Worker [334] processing SEQNUM=2947 is taking a long time

and

nvme nvme0: I/O tag 8 (1008) QID 0 timeout, completion polled
nvme nvme1: I/O tag 12 (100c) QID 0 timeout, completion polled
nvme nvme3: I/O tag 20 (1014) QID 0 timeout, completion polled
nvme nvme4: I/O tag 4 (1004) QID 0 timeout, completion polled
nvme nvme2: I/O tag 20 (1014) QID 0 timeout, completion polled

And then the kernel will lock up. The problem persists with the fallback initrd.

Re: Latest (I think) systemd update seems to have broken RAID RST/VMD

Can you isolate the cause by downgrading linux or systemd and systemd-libs ?

Ok, so it seems to be a kernel issue. Downgrading systemd, systemd-libs, and systemd-sysvcompat did nothing. But, downgrading to 6.17.2 let me boot with VMD enabled. But, it also made it to where the nvidia module wasn't loading. Downgrading a version of that fixed that issue.

Have tested with the latest systemd packages, but with 6.17.2 and everything still boots fine. Typing this from my RAID array.

Re: Latest (I think) systemd update seems to have broken RAID RST/VMD

Can you bisect linux between 6.17.2 and 6.17.3 to determine the causal commit? Let me know if you need any help.

Re: Latest (I think) systemd update seems to have broken RAID RST/VMD

Probably this one: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … 54ecd30605. Looks like an attempt to fix the same issue, but for specific hardware.

When using NVME on SG2044, the NVME drvier always complains about "I/O tag XXX (XXX) QID XX timeout, completion polled", which is caused by the broken affinity setting mechanism of the sg2042-msi driver.

P.S.
1. 6.17.2-00069-gbb968a57b072-3 (commit bb968a57b07294ef052b35658ad53754ecd30605) is broken
2. 6.17.2-00066-gd760948a0f27-2 (commit d760948a0f27359d8d957a94528b8f749503f5e6) is fine
There are 2 commits in between, https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … 87d35a3eeb and https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … 06cbec3281 (both are required by bb968a57b07294ef052b35658ad53754ecd30605, see 'Stable-dep-of: 9d8c41816bac'). One of them is the cause.

Possible fix: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … 206c66ae0b (tested, works). Hope it will be backported/cherry-picked into 6.17.4

I may need that help. My git fu is not that strong. Would i need both kernels cloned in order to bisect? Would it have to be specifically the Arch kernels?

Re: Latest (I think) systemd update seems to have broken RAID RST/VMD

Would i need both kernels cloned in order to bisect?

I would use linux-mainline as the template PKGBUILD and replace the source with linux-stable which will not include Arch's additional commits. gromit can build that for you if it helps.

Or wait for linux 6.17.4.arch1-1 which contains 5384611 PCI: vmd: override irq_startup()/irq_shutdown() in vmd_init_dev_msi_info() as referenced by smagellan.

Seems like the community already did the heavy lifting as you pointed out. Updated to 6.17.4-arch2-1 and all is well. 

I appreciate everyone's help. Once I get some time I would like to do the exercise on being able to narrow down the issue using git bisect, so thanks for the tip.

Solved.
