Description Jean-Louis Dupond 2018-02-25 13:03:56 UTC
Hi All!

I have the following setup:
Precision 5520
Dell WD15 Docking

On the WD15 docking there is an network port r8152.

Now once in a while (like 1 time a week), the connection dies, and kernel prints the following message:
kernel: [ 6164.073282] r8152 4-1.2:1.0 enxa44cc890f4c8: Tx status -71

simply replugging the dock, or disable/enable the network interface fixes the problem.

Question is, how comes this appear :)

Feel free to ask for additional information!

Comment 4 RussianNeuroMancer 2018-11-28 11:43:09 UTC
Jean-Louis, can you please verify if issue is still reproducible for you on Linux 4.20rc4? For me, at least with one dock (Belkin USB-C Express Dock 3.1 HD F4U093) and one device (HP Elite x2 1013 G3) this issue is no longer reproducible. I will verify other laptops with Linux 4.20 later.
Comment 5 Jean-Louis Dupond 2018-12-04 12:14:35 UTC
I haven't seen this the last months. Running Ubuntu 18.10 with 4.18.0-11-generic
Comment 6 Konstantin Sobolev 2019-12-04 23:22:05 UTC
I have a very similar setup: Dell Precision 7540 with WD19DC dock that has RTL8153 adapter. It crashes periodically with similar symptoms, my current kernel is 5.4.1

Comment 7 Peter 2020-01-27 13:20:07 UTC
I have a similiar setup and similiar problem:
Setup: Lenovo Thinkpad t480, Think Pad USB-C Dock 40A90090EU [1], Ubuntu 16.04, Kernel  4.15.0-74-generic #83~16.04.1-Ubuntu

Network connection is periodically crashing.
Dmesg shows `r8152 4-1.1:1.0 enxe04f43991e1c: Rx status -71` in that case. 
I noticed that this seams to depend on the use of the network connection. E.g. if I compile a lot using icecream to distribute compilation jobs, it seams to be a lot less stable. 

Using `rmmod r8152 && modprobe r8152` fixes the problem temporarily.

Comment 10 RussianNeuroMancer 2020-03-03 08:06:00 UTC
Timur, you are using same docking station as Jean-Louis or some other?
Comment 11 Timur Kristóf 2020-03-03 12:47:07 UTC
RussianNeuroMancer, I use a Dell XPS 13 9370 with a Lenovo ThinkPad branded Thunderbolt 3 dock. The model number is DBB9003L1. (The dock is not mine, I'm just borrowing it from a collegaue for a week.) I think these docks mostly use the same hardware under the hood, I think I've also seen a Fedora bug report about the same issue with the Dell TB16 here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1460789
Comment 12 RussianNeuroMancer 2020-03-03 13:01:35 UTC
I see. By the way, since my Comment 4 I was able to reproduce this issue again. This time with Linux 5.4 on Dell Venue 8 Pro 5855 and Dell WD15 Dock.

Comment 14 BniceJada 2020-03-05 14:03:27 UTC
Same problem here. Dell Latitude 7480 (BIOS 1.16.1) with WD15 dock (Port Controller on v1.1.8). I am using 5.5.7-zen1-1-zen (but the same problem also occured with the standard arch kernel).

It has not occured with 5.4.2.arch1-1 but it for sure occured with 5.4.5.arch1-1 (I had holidays inbetween and the troubles started after them).

Comment 15 Jamin W. Collins 2020-03-08 20:43:20 UTC
I've been encountering this problem with every relatively recent (4.9+) kernel, and possibly older ones as well.

System: Lenovo W530

USB adapter: 
Cable Matters 3 Port USB 3.0 Hub with Ethernet (USB Hub with Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet USB Hub ) Supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Network in Black
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J6583NK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 0bda:8153 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8153 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

I've encountered the problem with Arch's main linux kernels and their LTS builds.

The interface seems to have trouble once it is put under any sort of load (30% or more utilization) on the host system. Removing and reloading the module can sometimes temporarily improve things, but (from what I've seen) the issue always returns within a few minutes to an hour.
Comment 17 RussianNeuroMancer 2020-03-09 18:26:12 UTC
So if it's same issue there is at least several workarounds: 

"usbcore.quirks=0bda:8153:k" kernel boot option (from first askubuntu link)
Install tlp and change USB_BLACKLIST option in /etc/default/tlp to "0bda:8153" (from second askubuntu link)
Patch /drivers/usb/core/quirks.c with following line (mentioned in tlp bugreport)
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0bda, 0x8153), .driver_info = USB_QUIRK_NO_LPM },

Unfortunately, this week I doesn't have access to Dell WD15 docking station. Is any else can try at least first or second workaround?

I can confirm that blacklisting "0bda:8153" for USB_BLACKLIST in my tlp.conf seems to work fine for me. Prior to this change I lost network connection each night and now I have connection straight for the last two nights (three days)

I can confirm that adding "usbcore.quirks=0bda:8153:k" to kernel boot options worked for me.
Comment 20 Hans de Goede 2020-03-13 11:04:25 UTC
So reading through this bug report, the solution, or at least a workaround would seem to be to add USB_QUIRK_NO_LPM entries for the troublesome rtl8152 / rtl8153 based ethernet adapters to drivers/usb/core/quirks.c. There actually already is at least one line in there for a dock with a r8153 nic:

        /* Microsoft Surface Dock Ethernet (RTL8153 GigE) */
        { USB_DEVICE(0x045e, 0x07c6), .driver_info = USB_QUIRK_NO_LPM },

There is mention of several docks here; but upon checking various logs, they all seem to use the generic realtek usb-id for the RTL8153 GigE NIC.

So it seems that the solution is adding the following lines to: drivers/usb/core/quirks.c :

        /* Generic RTL8153 GigE adapters */
        { USB_DEVICE(0x0bda, 0x8153), .driver_info = USB_QUIRK_NO_LPM },

I will submit a patch upstream for this.

I'm sorry to hear that the issue is not 100% resolved. Still I've found enough other bug-reports where people are having success with this option when used with a RTL813 device, that I believe that it is worthwhile to submit a patch for this upstream, see. e.g. :

I wonder why blacklist in tlp didn't help him, but usbcore.quirks does.

Try this:

1. remove lines 737-737 here https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/0d81a3f29c0afb18ba2b1275dcccf21e0dd4da38/drivers/net/usb/cdc_ether.c#L733

Hmm, so in essence that swaps the driver which is specifically made for the RTL8153 with the generic USB ethernet class driver.

Although it might be interesting to try that there are known issues with that.

E.g. with a Lenovo thunderbolt 3 gen 2 dock, when the laptop is turned off while connected to the dock, most of the dock is turned off, but the ethernet card still has power (for wake on lan I guess) and when using the cdc_ether driver, then the RTL8153 nick will start spamming the network as fast as it can after the laptop has been turned off, which in my case made my entire (wired) home network unusable (*).

So I actually send a patch upstream doing the opposite, adding the Lenovo specific USB-ids for the RTL8153 to the blacklist in cdc_ether and to the white/device-id list in r8152.c which solved the dock jamming my wired network after the laptop turned off.

*) I'm using a cheap unmanaged switch a better switch may have kept the network at least somewhat usable

My 0bda:8153 also stops working with the cdc_ether driver (without it saying anything in syslog).
Blacklisting 0bda:8153 in TLP didn't work.
Adding 0bda:8153 quirks kernel parameter didn't work.
Using the newest r8152.53.56-2.12.0 driver from realtek didn't work.
Comment 27 Michiel Janssens 2020-05-01 08:38:23 UTC
Similar issues here with a Dell dock WD15, connected from Dell XPS 13 9360.
Since several months the wired connection from the dock 0bda:8153 dies, but the network stack isn't notified. A reboot after this waits endlessly on services to stop. Sometimes Gnome gui locks up shortly after logging back in the system and being presented with the issue. I have to do REISUB to get the system working again.
The issue doesn't appear while working on the the system, mostly when leaving it running by itself for a while. I haven't found a way to actually trigger it.

At the moment I'm running openSUSE Tumbleweed with kernel 5.6.6, issue is still happening.
I tried quircks, but no result.
For several days i'm now testing running it with usbcore.autosuspend=-1 and have left the system running for longer periods. The issue didn't happen so far.

Side note:
Commit 75d7676ead19b1fbb5e0ee934c9ccddcb666b68c doesn't seem to have fixed the message "Tx status -71" from the original bug reporter. (Tx timeout, in my case)
That still happens once in a while.
Comment 28 Marcus Sundman 2020-05-01 21:42:27 UTC
The usbcore.autosuspend=-1 kernel parameter doesn't resolve it for me.
Also, I can trigger the problem in seconds, simply by reading at gigabit speeds.
Comment 29 Hans de Goede 2020-05-04 13:05:08 UTC
At least for thise seeing issues with Dell's WD15 dock I think that trying something similar to this quirk might help:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=b63e48fb50e1ca71db301ca9082befa6f16c55c4

To try this, first do:

lsusb -t

To find the Bus and Dev number of any USB hub(s) inside the dock.

Then do:

lsusb

And lookup the same Bus and Dev number to get the vendor- and product-id used for the hub, e.g. 0bda:0487

Then try booting with this added to your kernel commandline:

usbcore.quirks=0bda:0487:k

Replacing the 0bda:0487 with the <vend>:<prod> ids for your hub (from the lsusb output). If you want to try this on more then one USB device, you can specify the NO_LPM quirk for multiple USB devices like this:

usbcore.quirks=0bda:0487:k,0bda:0488:k

Please give this a try and see if that helps. Also note that the same thing can be used to set the NO_LPM quirk on the USB ethernet-chip itself if it has a different USB-id which is not yet in the kernel's quirks list.

This didn't work.

I have 3 devices:
Bus 003 Device 009: ID 0bda:8153 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8153 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
Bus 003 Device 008: ID 0bda:0411 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 0bda:5411 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub

I added these kernel params:
usbcore.quirks=0bda:8153:k,0bda:5411:k,0bda:0411:k usbcore.autosuspend=-1

Still fails with either
Rx status -71
or
Tx status -71
after reading 50 MB/s over the network for a minute or few.

I'm not sure how to do that. As far as I can tell my ethernet chip is at 0bda:8153 (which in my case is at usb@3:1.4, which maps to device 9, which maps to 0bda:8153).
Comment 31 Hans de Goede 2020-05-05 13:11:56 UTC
@Marcus Sundman, right you have already set the flag for your ethernet usb controller by adding the 0bda:8153:k part to the quirks. So it seems that at least for you setting the NO_LPM flag does not help.

Does your dock have updateable firmware? If so you may want to try to update the firmware. The first generation thunderbolt docks from all vendors were notoriously buggy and the all need the latest firmware to work at least somewhat reliable. Getting the latest firmware is also strongly advised for people using Windows since there really were quite a few issues with these devices which are fixed with fw updates.

Yes, I wrote somewhat reliable, the best fix for thunderbolt dock issues often is getting a second generation or newer dock :(

Thanks for posting this instruction!
I already had seen the commit for the WD19, but it wasn't clear how I should investigate that on my system.
The WD15 doc adds 2 usb busses with both a Microchip USB hub
I removed the usbcore.autosuspend=-1 parameter and will test for several days with usbcore.quirks=0424:5537:k, which is the hub which has the 0bda:8153 as child.
I will add attachments with my lsusb output.

It didn't take days to get results.

Just the hub where 0bda:8153 is child
usbcore.quirks=0424:5537:k
result: 0bda:8153 dies after a while, without log entry, needed REISUB to reboot

Both hubs which are added by connecting WD15
usbcore.quirks=0424:5537:k,0424:2137:k
result: 0bda:8153 dies after a while, without log entry, needed REISUB to reboot

So I'm back to using usbcore.autosuspend=-1.
Please advise if I missed something (or incorrect dev id) I could test.

There have been a lot of firmware updates for the wd15, do you have these all applied?

Good catch, i'm on 1.0.4 according to fwupdmgr. Latest is 1.0.6 on the dell site.
Unfortunately the wd15 appears not (yet) to be fully supported via fwupdmgr so Windows is the only option, sigh. I will try to update, test again and report.
Bios is current by the way.

I also tried without usbcore.autosuspend=-1 but that also didn't help.

It's a LogiLink UA0173A, and it doesn't seem to have any firmware available (only newer drivers, which I already tried).
Comment 38 RussianNeuroMancer 2020-05-07 03:49:50 UTC
Just for the record, I was able to reproduce this issue even on NanoPi-M1 (Allwinner H3) with Linux 5.4.32 attached to Belkin USB-C Express Dock 3.1 HD F4U093 (did this for convenience, just to quickly get working keyboard and mouse without reattaching keyboard and mouse cables from dock to board). Quirk was included in 5.4 since 5.4.28 so it already applied. Unfortunately, I didn't expected this issue to be reproducible with NanoPi-M1 board, so I didn't saved lsusb -t before/after this happened.

(In reply to Michiel Janssens from comment #36)

I ran several updaters from Dell under Windows. My WD15 firmware components (4 of them) were already current, apparently the main version is some sort of wrapper. So no updates to Bios or WD15 firmware are possible.
At the moment I run kernel 5.6.8, so I ran all tests again:
- with or without usbcore.quirks=0424:5537:k,0424:2137:k the nic dies after a while
- with usbcore.autosuspend=-1 the nic remains alive
Comment 40 Marcus Sundman 2020-06-13 02:01:35 UTC
Still the same problem with Realtek's new driver, r8152.53.56-2.13.0, on ubuntu's 5.4.0-37-generic with usbcore.autosuspend=-1.

It fails with 'Tx status -71' or 'Rx status -71':
> net_ratelimit: 22 callbacks suppressed

> r8152 3-2.4:1.0 enx00e04d6aeb98: Tx status -71
> ...

But sometimes that quickly turns into this:
> xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: WARN: TRB error for slot 3 ep 3 on endpoint
> r8152 3-2.4:1.0 enx00e04d6aeb98: Tx status -84

I've also tried adjusting the nic's Rx ring size from 100 to 20 or 2000, but still the same crash seconds after starting a gigabit speed download.

Comment 42 Peter Ries 2020-07-30 09:08:57 UTC
Hi, I'm glad I found this (old) bug. It affects me as well and still is up to date.

I'm running Kubuntu 20.04 with Mainline Kernel 5.7.9 and tried 5.8.0-rc7. My brand new Thinkpad T14 (AMD Version, 32GB RAM) is connected to a Thinkpad USB-C dock Gen 2. Laptop and Dock run latest firmware.

**Testcase** is copying a large video file (~ 2GB) from Laptop to NAS.
**Error** lots of "r8152 5-1.1:1.0 enx482ae36d721f: Tx status -71" in dmesg log after a few seconds. Connection lost. Need to use either WiFi or reconnect dock.

To find the culprit:
Copying via WiFi connection or Laptops LAN port (r8169) works.
Using another dock (DELL docking station) works.
Connection a DELL Windows Laptop to Lenovo dock works
Hardware must be OK then!

So I suppose the cause lies in r8152 driver.

As I can reproduce this "on demand" I could provide more information/logs if you tell me what's needed and how to do it ;)

update to my previous comment...

Kubuntu's Network Manager obviously set up the USB Network Adapter with "Link Negotiation: ignore" for whatever reason.

I changed it to "Auto" and now it is more stable - even solid. I just pumped a 20G VM Diskimage to NAS and no error occurred. I'm optimistic that this setting solved my problem.

Time will tell ...

The same problem occurs with Anker Ethernet Adapter combined with USB hub (https://www.anker.com/products/variant/aluminum-3port-usb-30-and-ethernet-hub/A7514041) on 4.15.0-38-generic kernel in KDE neon (based on Ubuntu 18.04).

dmesg outputs "r8152 4-3.3:1.0 eth0: Tx status -71" for multiple times.

None of the workarounds involving changing boot paramters suggested above helped (usbcore.autosuspend=-1; usbcore.quirks=2109:0812:k,0bda:8153:k). Actually with usbcore.quirks I couldn't even boot as the process hung at "Switching to clocksource tsc" error. 

The adapter works flawlessly with 4.14.x kernel.

Interestingly, the adapter works fine when certain devices (e.g. wireless mouse's receiver) are connected in the USB hub.
Comment 46 Weber K. 2020-09-27 05:07:54 UTC
Hi!

I have the same error, but only in USB 3.0 port.

My hub doesn't support LPM, so I think I have other problem (usbcore.quirks=0bda:8153:k).

I've tried usbcore.quirks=0bda:8153:j and I've got no -71 error.

After 40 minutes the network stopped.
Comment 48 Weber K. 2020-09-28 02:23:47 UTC
Hi fellows,

I think read_bulk_callback should treat EPROTO error code...
But I don't know exactly how... But adding EPROTO to ESHUTDOWN the driver becomes more stable...

Thanks

Latest firmware.

It looks to be an USB enumeration issue here. When rebooting the device, the problem always shows up after a while, when physically turning the unit on and off, the issue no longer appears and it can run stable forever.

I basically made a habit of shutting down entirely when I need to reboot.
Comment 51 Yorick de Wid 2020-11-27 21:50:43 UTC
Dell Inc. XPS 15 9570/0HWTMH, BIOS 1.17.1 07/09/2020

Kernel: 5.8.0-7630-generic
Chipset: RTL8153b-2 (version 9)


After a full day of debugging the r8152 driver on an USB-c dock 
it does look like the RTL 8152 chipset is unable to keep pace with the transmission queue (tx_queue). The driver keeps sending URB blocks towards the chipset but at some point the chipset will no longer fire status interrupts. This stalls the write_bulk_callback which in turn sets of the netdev timeout watchdog. The timeout then tries to reset the USB device but the RTL chipset is no longer responding. Power cycle the USB port is the only option to reset the chip. The behavior is quite deterministic. When sending bulk packets over the 1000TX interface (Gigabit that is) it doesn't take long before the watchdog reports queue congestion. If I simulate a lockup by deliberately slowing down the tasklet, the timeout ans TX status -2/-71 is almost triggered immediately.

The netdev timeout resetting the USB device seems a bit silly. There is no lock held when the USB device is reset, and the timeout handler is invoked every (5 * 1000Hz). A better solution would be to power cycle the USB port.

Because this bug as been away for a while and now reappears it could be a firmware issue. The most recent firmware was updated a little more than a year ago.

Comment 52 Emtee 2020-11-28 01:14:05 UTC
All my issues with the USB Adapters have disappeared after I used these kernel parameters;

usbcore.old_scheme_first=1 usbcore.use_both_schemes=0 usbcore.autosuspend=-1 pci_aspm=off

Not sure which of them, or a combination of actually does it.

Been running for a week 24/7 with them now.
Comment 53 Peter Ries 2020-12-13 07:20:04 UTC
Strangely this issue reappeared some days ago. It was gone after I set link negotiation in network manager to "auto" (kubuntu st it to ignore for some reason) and worked around three months flawlessly.

A week ago sending a 4 gb to my NAS the error reappeared, but was gone after I set manual negotiation in network manager 1 Gbit/full duplex. It worked the again for some days but yesterday with a lot of traffic in my LAN a network sync immediately "killed" the USB-C dock networkinterface.

I didn't change anything beside regular apt updates and installing the latest mainline kernel 5.9.x branch - don't know what happened.

May be I'll give autosuspend a try...

Yorick de Wid's analysis https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198931#c51 seems quite promising to be the root cause.

Comment 55 Yorick de Wid 2020-12-13 11:09:57 UTC
Peter Ries can you specify which firmware version is being loaded? The driver writes the version to dmesg on load. For example; RTL8153b-2 (version 9).

Its hard to track exact firmware versions. If it happens to be a firmware issue we might be able to downgrade. Haven't tried an older version as yet.

Thats the one. The v9 chipset is also the version im running. Its too early to conclude but it strokes with the presumption that the rtl8153b-2 firmware contains a bug.

Comment 62 Peter H 2021-02-22 18:45:33 UTC
Hi all, glad to see I'm not the only one. I also have the Lenovo USB-C Dock gen 2, and am connecting to it from a Surface Pro 7 (running Arch with the surface-linux kernel 5.10.16), and am similarly loading the "rtl8153b-2 v1 10/23/19" firmware. 


An interesting thing that I learned recently is that my ethernet works perfectly if I boot without an external screen plugged into the dock. As soon as I plug one in, the "Tx status -71" messages return and the ethernet dies. I don't know if that helps at all, maybe someone else has found this too? I can also confirm the ethernet and external display work fine together running Windows.

The firmware hasn't been updated for over a year, see official kernel repo. 

Because the lockup is likely caused by a data race in the firmware, its to be expected that higher interrupt count (additional peripherals) will trigger the issue sooner.

Just to give a little update, Realtek is currently testing against hardware with known issues.
Comment 66 Tim 2021-03-18 11:14:43 UTC
I am suffering from this problem too, using a tp-link UE330, which has the Realtek 8153, is a USB A 3.0 device with a hub and gigabit ethernet. I have had no issues with the hub (it keeps even working after the ethernet stops working), but the gigabit ethernet just stops working completely after some time. Sometimes it can go for a couple days, one time it stoped working after 10 minutes.

I am running the linux kernel 5.4.103 and modinfo says it has the v1.10.11 of the r8152 driver. I am going to update to the v2.14.0 that is in the Realtek webpage (https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/network-interface-controllers-10-100-1000m-gigabit-ethernet-usb-3-0-software), but if like some of you say here the issue is a firmware issue I am not that hopeful.

How can I check which firmware my device is loading? From reading this bug page I have seen there are different versions of the firmware at /usr/lib/firmware/rtl_nic . In my case for rtl8153x-x.fw there is a-2, a-3, a-4 and b-2.

@Yorick de Wid, good to know Realtek is aware of the problem. What can we realistically expect from them? The lastest drivers, which I am guessing also includes de firmware, is from 19/10/2020 and this chipset has been out for years. You'd assume they have had time to iron everything out.
Comment 67 Yorick de Wid 2021-03-19 09:23:36 UTC
dmesg should log the requested firmware version by the driver.

Hayes pushed a few patches upstream last month. These changes include power flow regulation of the driver and URB speeds. Those are driver level changes and preliminary tests show they are working on recent kernels. I've been running iperf for a few days and nothing has broken down nor did I see any timing issues. 

I can't speak to all problems here but a combination of hardware and this chipset may be resolved by these patches. I'd expect Ubuntu will backport these drivers to LRS as well.
Comment 68 Nikolay Kichukov 2021-03-19 10:27:52 UTC
Hi Yorick de Wid,

Can you refer me to those 'few patches' from last month? I just want to verify if the kernel I run has them, 5.11.7 here, and perhaps give this 'hardware' its last chance this time. I have been trying to make it work for too long now, without any success.

Thanks.
Comment 70 Nikolay Kichukov 2021-03-19 12:04:49 UTC
Thanks, both patches are not yet in the latest stable kernel: 5.11.7, so I may backport them and give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
Comment 71 Tim 2021-03-20 06:45:50 UTC
@Yorick de Wid

From my ignorance on how the kernel and drivers work, I can see those two commits are for the r8152 driver only, it does not touch any other part of the code. Could we just add those two commits to the r8152 driver and compile it as a module instead of recompiling the whole netdev subsystem? (If so, it also would be nice if Realtek publishes it even if it is as beta driver in their webpage).

I have updated the r8152 driver with the v2.14.0 version from the Realtek website. The ethernet is still randomly stoping to work. I will try to see if I can apply the patches to the v2.14.0 driver. If it compiles without errors I will test running with the patched drivers. Is there a better way of doing this? Maybe there are some more changes in the kernel branch of r8152 and I should get the code of the driver from there? Any advice and/or instructions would be welcomed.

I really do not understand how Realtek releases a product like this. I have this gigabit ethernet device connected to a router with only fast ethernet (100Mb/s), so it is going at less than 10% of its speed and it is still hanging daily. This is not some race condition that happens when some specific or weird heavy load goes through the device, this is happening with normal very low load traffic. How was this not caught up during development or testing? Did they even try the device they are selling? Now I understand why everywhere you read people badmouth Realtek products and recommend getting Intel NIC's.
Comment 72 Yorick de Wid 2021-03-20 11:49:15 UTC
Rarely ever does anyone compile the kernel from a subsystem. Just compile the r8152 module like any other KBuild module.

There are many variants of the RTL815x chipset, some made by Realtek, some not. The chipset family is employed in a large variety of products, and minor PCB design flaws like trace length can cause timing issues which are notoriously hard to diagnose. Even though this *does* feel like a firmware/driver issue, it's impossible to account for all the ways this microcontroller is being used.
Comment 73 Tim 2021-03-20 15:01:02 UTC
@Yorick de Wid

I managed to compile and install the driver from the Realtek webpage, but I have no idea how to download only the r8152 part out of the kernel. Could you give some link or instructions so the ones who want to give it a try like me can? Thanks.
Comment 74 Tim 2021-03-31 04:51:19 UTC
I have finally managed to compile the kernel of my system adding the r8152 upstream patches that were missing. The device, tp-link UE330, is still hanging.

I have compiled 5.11.8 . This already included this recommended patch https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git/commit/?id=7a0ae61acde2cebd69665837170405eced86a6c7 , and all the patches made to r8152 in 2020 as far as I can see. The only r8152 patches that are missing are the two from 2021, again as far as I can see, this two: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git/commit/?id=a08c0d309d8c078d22717d815cf9853f6f2c07bd, https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git/commit/?id=80fd850b31f09263ad175b2f640d5c5c6f76ed41 (the last one is the other recommended at #69).

So with 5.11.8 compiled with the two r8152 patches from 2021, the device is still hanging. No progress.
Comment 75 Daniel Squires 2021-04-11 10:11:44 UTC
I have a load of USB3 Ethernet dongles using this driver. Reported by lsusb as follows:

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0bda:8153 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8153 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

I experience this problem (connection drops and dmesg shows repeated TX Status -71 message) on various systems, Dell laptop Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04, Gentoo and raspberry pi. On all systems the problem either only happens when plugged into USB3 or is far worse when plugged into USB3, obviously USB2 does now allow the full bandwidth to be achieved so is not a good solution.

running iperf will generally cause the problem within a very short time frame. I am using 3 of them with a raspberry pi 4 and have been having this problem and started to investigate. I noticed it was failing to load the firmware file (rtl8153a-4.fw) and I guess falling back on a default internal firmware. The fw file turns out to be missing in the Raspbian linux-firmware package. Having manually copied it from Ubuntu 20.04 it now loads successfully for 2 of the connected adapter but fails on the 3rd:

Any ideas why it fails to load for one of the three above?

Seems like fw load fails when plugged into a USB3 port, but succeeds when plugged into a USB2 one!
Comment 77 Vladyslav Shtabovenko 2021-04-22 13:40:02 UTC
Since I'm also suffering from these issues (Dell WD15 + Thinkpad T14 AMD), I'm wondering if someone managed to unfreeze the machine in the situation described by
Michiel Janssens

I mean, once the connection is lost, the system will start hanging on all operations that are somehow related to the networking, so that even sudo won't work (su is possible, though). Restarting/killing NetworkManager or dhclient doesn't succeed either. So essentially you have your graphical session (Gnome 3 in my case) where the mouse cursor still moves but everything else doesn't react. Trying to "save" the system from a virtual console ultimately fails b/c everything network-related hangs. At the end of the day REISUB is the only thing you can do - meaning that you will loose all your unsaved work.




Perhaps someone has found a trick how one could avoid REISUB in such a situation? It's really annoying since you cannot reliably predict when such a freeze would happen.
Comment 78 Tim 2021-04-26 10:53:17 UTC
So now that I have been using the kernel with the lastest patches for a month, I want to report some experiences that might be useful for users and even maybe for the developers to finally fix this issue. Again, my device is the TP-Link U330.

Right now, the device seems to only hang on reboot. Everytime I reboot the device hangs several times in a very short time, up to 11 times once in 5 minutes, until it does not hang anymore and then it can work without hanging for weeks (I think 3 weeks is as far as I tested it until I had to reboot again).

For users, if you install ifupdown2 you can recover the device without rebooting or disconnecting or even disrupting the network. Once you have ifupdown2 installed in your linux system and the device is down (you can check with the command 'ip addr'), use these two commands to recover he device:

- ifup enxxxxx
[enxxxxx is the name of the device in your system]
- ifreload -a
[-a is probably not needed but it is very quick and does not disrupt the network so I did not looked further]

This will get your device working up again.

I created a script that does this and tried to execute it everytime the device goes down. For some reason when the device goes down because of the bug the system does not run the script. The script gets triggered when I put the device down manually or when rebooting, but for some unknown reason it does not get triggered when it goes down because of the bug. So I have resorted to run the script every 30 seconds, check if the device is up or down and if it is down, put it up again with those two commands. It is not pretty, but it makes my system workable at least, until a proper solution is released by Realtek. If anyone is interested in the script I can share it.
Comment 79 Tim 2021-04-26 10:56:27 UTC
I forgot one thing, the above procedure to recover the device has only been tested with the two 2021 kernel patches. I have not tested it without them so I do not know if it would work or not without the patches.
Comment 80 Vladyslav Shtabovenko 2021-04-26 12:26:06 UTC
Could you please specify which patches do you mean? I'm currently on 5.11.16-100.fc32.x86_64, so I guess that they are not included yet.

Another question, what does ifupdown2 do that "simpler" tools cannot do
when it comes to recovering a frozen machine? Once I've even tried rmmod
on the r8152 module but even that command froze.
Comment 81 Michiel Janssens 2021-04-26 12:37:21 UTC
Hi Vladyslav Shtabovenko, have you tried running usbcore.autosuspend=-1?
I still have this in my boot parameters, running kernel 5.11.15.
Since adding this parameter I haven't had any lockups or network freezes.
Comment 82 Tim 2021-04-27 06:15:18 UTC
@Vladyslav Shtabovenko I specified the patches I included to compile the kernel in comment #74.

I needed to install ifupdown2 for other reasons in my system so I have only tried with ifupdown2. But ifupdown2 claims to be able to put up, down and reload the interfaces with less disruption to the network system than previous software, so I suspect it is needed, but can not be sure.
Comment 83 Vladyslav Shtabovenko 2021-05-09 20:42:40 UTC
Many thanks. In my case the total freezes occur not so often (perhaps once in 3-5 weeks), so I didn't try any radical measures yet. The point is that T14 AMD already has many issues with the power management and I'm sort of reluctant to worsen the battery life even further by disabling usb autosuspend. I'm currently testing TLP with the option

USB_BLACKLIST="0bda:8153 0bda:4014"

in /etc/tlp.conf. Not sure if it helps or not, but I didn't have any "fatal" hangers so far. Perhaps it even solves the issue for me. Should there be another freeze as described in my first posting, I will comment on that here.

There is a new version at https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/network-interface-controllers-10-100-1000m-gigabit-ethernet-usb-3-0-software .
It didn't worked in my usb 3.0 ports and kernel 4.19.128.
Thanks.

I can see various repeating "r8152 1-2:1.0 enx00116b686258: Rx status -71" messages in dmesg, they occur roughly once every odd minutes but they seem benign, in that it doesn't seem to affect connectivity (it may have been affecting throughput, but not enough to disconnect video calls I've been making during the same time).

However, today I also saw this happen (I'll attach the full backtrace):
[  +0.004720] NETDEV WATCHDOG: enx00116b686258 (r8152): transmit queue 0 timed out

...after which I needed to unplug the device to get it working again. A port power cycle from software might have been enough, but it's hard to lookup the correct incantation for that when your outside interface is failing.

Using 5.14.15 (including https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg217590.html) I still got status -71. Afterwards, the network connection is down shortly, but recovers quickly. 

Adding the following quirk resolved the issue for my Lenovo Powered USB-C Travel Hub: "usbcore.quirks=17ef:721e:k" connnected to a ThinkBook 14s.

I submitted a related patch upstream: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20211127090546.52072-1-olebowle@gmx.com/
Comment 92 Vassilis Virvilis 2022-01-31 22:20:28 UTC
Hi,

I have a TP-LINK U330 (usb 3 hub with ethernet RJ45) with the RTL8153 chipset attached to a generic laptop.

I am seeing this behavior. Status -71 messages (possibly others too) and then disconnects and maybe freezes

Specifying 
  options usbcore quirks=0bda:8153:k,0bda:5411:k,0bda:0411:k
  options usbcore autosuspend=-1

helps considerably. Not sure if it fixes the problem completely. 
No crash and the status -71 were far less. Possible one or two

lspci:
00:15.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Celeron/Pentium Silver Processor USB 3.0 xHCI Controller (rev 03)

Attaching the usb dongle to my desktop works perfectly for several hours without a problem so I believe this is not a problem of the dongle or the driver.

The laptop has a realtek wireless/bluetooth card for whicj I also had to specify 
  options rtw88_pci disable_aspm=1
for it to work without may problems.

I tend to believe the issue is with the usb controller or the UEFI/BIOS/ACPI tables.

Unfortunately I cannot locate an update for that specific instance of this AMI BIOS.

How can I debug it further? Is it possible to fix it by modifying the ACPI tables? Any pointers?
Comment 93 Emtee 2022-01-31 22:30:38 UTC
At this point I just recommend disabling USB auto suspend/USB LPM, ASPM etc.

Works fine on Debian Bullseye with custom compiled kernel 5.10.90 (ASPM disabled in bios, and usb autosuspend on -1), but kernel parameter should work as well.

And in case of my Intel NUC system, I cannot do a reboot because USB/Realtek combo goes haywire. Always a cold boot (Full shutdown) required.
Comment 94 Vassilis Virvilis 2022-02-02 08:03:36 UTC
Thanks @Emtee for comment #93

I was thinking about ACPI tables and I overlooked the basics, the BIOS setup. Not my brightest moment.

Anyway, It turns out that the AMI BIOS (UEFI) in my laptop has a setting that reads something like this:

Enable/Disable blah-blah ASPM

If Enabled Vista will handle the ASPM for the device(s?).
If Disable BIOS itself will handle the ASPM.

So I disabled it and so far looks working. I will test for some days and I will let you know.

Right now I have only this setting in BIOS. I have commented all module parameter workarounds.
  #options usbcore quirks=0bda:8153:k,0bda:5411:k,0bda:0411:k
  #options usbcore autosuspend=-1

I have debian unstable kernel 5.15.03 and I believe the quirk 0bda:8153:k is already compiled in.

If this works I will also disable the rtw88 aspm quirk.
Comment 95 Vassilis Virvilis 2022-02-04 11:38:45 UTC
Speak too soon.

After some days (without heavy testing) it started acting with status -71 during a TC meeting.

This time (or now I noticed) after a status -71 it had a usb disconnect event and the usb reconnect, firmware reload etc.

Real shame to cannot pinpoint this. I wonder if this bug happens to other BIOSes or only to AMI ones?

I just want to stress that without setting the ASPM disable BIOS options the failures are almost instant.

If anybody has an idea on how to debug this further, what logs to enable please feel free to speak.

Thanks
Comment 96 anarcat 2022-03-21 20:01:45 UTC
For what it's worth, I was having regular hangs with those USB controllers in the past, for many different Linux kernel releases. The network interface would just freeze and hang: traffic wouldn't go through, and even rebooting the box wouldn't work, as userspace would hang during the shutdown sequence.



Since the Debian 11 (bullseye) upgrade, things improved slightly as I started seeing the error message described in this ticket (Tx status -71). But it would be similarly broken, and would occur after a variable number of hours idling.

I upgraded to the bookworm kernel recently (5.16) and this problem completely disappeared, so I consider the patch in https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/baf33d7a7564 fixed this problem.

So thanks everyone, this is really great to see this finally fixed.

Comment 98 RussianNeuroMancer 2022-07-31 12:00:53 UTC
Please correct me if I misunderstand something but from following two links it's looks like USB controller issues rather than network adapter driver issue:

[Oct27 13:13] r8152 2-2:1.0 eth1: Tx timeout
[  +0.003510] r8152 2-2:1.0 eth1: Tx status -2
[  +0.000297] r8152 2-2:1.0 eth1: Tx status -2
[  +2.180790] usb 2-2: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd

$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0bda:8153 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8153 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

$ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 5.15.61-v8+ #1579 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 26 11:16:44 BST 2022 aarch64 GNU/Linux

However, this problem is quite weird since I have two dongles (both are exactly the same): 
On my desktop computer, I'm yet to experience any issues with the dongle. I can push it to the limit for hours (using iperf) and nothing bad happens. No resets or any weird stuff happens. This computer runs Linux 6.0.x, though.
OTOH, the dongle connected to the Raspberry can't go past 100Mbit/s without _resetting_ itself after some minutes (sometimes even seconds). I tried adding the quirk option to the boot parameters to no avail. 

This makes me think, maybe there's an architectural difference in the driver? Perhaps it's the USB controller screwing things up? 

I'm 99.99% sure it's not the dongle being faulty/buggy, because I can swap the dongles and I don't see this issue on my desk computer.

I'm having this issue as well despite being on latest kernel. Unable to recognize any patterns in random hangs up throwing "Tx status -71". It can stream YT 4k60 video smoothly but then randomly crashes when trying to ssh. Literally unusable, thank god amazon for offering refunds.

I belive I found a way to handle this problem:


https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2125855#p2125855


r8152-dkms uses an updated Realtek driver https://github.com/wget/realtek-r8152-linux/


The usbcore quirks are absolutely essential! I am not sure if a subset of them is necessary; the ones I chose seem to fix the problem completely: bjkm
Comment 102 Stian Skjelstad 2023-10-23 08:44:34 UTC
I have been experiencing the same problem for some time too:

Currently with Ubuntu build kernel: 5.15.0-87-generic

The USB device seems to reconnect on its own, but it is then in a defunctional state and traffic does not pass.

Comment 104 Prashanth K 2023-11-14 08:39:05 UTC
I was also facing the same issue which was seen by @Stian, turning off SG using ethtool helped to solve the issue. Upon checking further, the DWC3 xHC controller (which apparently i was using) has some limitations with its internal TRB Cache size for chained TRBs. And it was fixed using the following patch - 

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20201208092912.1773650-3-mathias.nyman@linux.intel.com/

Ultimately I had to enable XHCI_SG_TRB_CACHE_SIZE_QUIRK in XHCI :)

It seems to both happen with EHCI and OHCI port, and the entire USB subsystem is broken until I do a reboot.

I will try to disable SG with ethtool and see if the problem goes away, as suggested by @Prashanth by putting the following into /etc/network/interfaces

auto enx1c1adff98bf8
iface enx1c1adff98bf8 inet static
        address 192.168.255.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        up sleep 5; ethtool -K enx1c1adff98bf8 sg off
Comment 106 Stian Skjelstad 2023-11-29 10:31:50 UTC
15 days uptime so far with:
  ethtool -K enx1c1adff98bf8 sg off

So it is a viable workaround.
Comment 107 Prashanth K 2024-01-11 09:56:07 UTC
Thanks for the confirmation, I have sent a fix (for DWC3 controllers) to upstream, lets see if we can get it accepted - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231212112521.3774610-1-quic_prashk@quicinc.com/
Comment 108 Robin Tetour 2024-02-25 19:06:43 UTC
I am experiencing this issue on latest Fedora, kernel 6.7.5. I have noticed the patch got merged. So I was running it flawlessly, no dropped connections, but after a few hours it crashed with Tx status -71. I have noticed that my hub is 2109:2813 (3 entries in lsusb) and 2109:0813 (also 3 entries in lsusb). Which is different from others here, yet I am experiencing identical issue.
Comment 109 ellePdesk 2024-03-01 16:12:17 UTC
I have 2 usb R8153 ethernet adapters, both use usbID 0bda:8153.
Both stop functioning within a minute with the logs flooding with "Tx status -71".
Using 
  ethtool -K [iface] sg off 
had no effect on this, still fails within minutes.
Currently running ubuntu 23.11 with kernel 6.5.0-21-generic
Comment 110 Ansgar Hegerfeld 2024-03-04 16:24:36 UTC
I think I can reproduce the "Tx status -71" error using a fresh 6.8.0-rc7-1-mainline kernel (Arch Linux here) and two Samsung ViewFinity S80TB displays (integrated RTL8153 controller), which are connected using Thunderbolt to a Framework 13 AMD. "ethtool -K [iface] sg off" has no effect for me, too.

I can run a network download speed test (i.e. https://www.speedtest.net/run ) without problems, but after the download is finished and the upload part starts, my displays seem to reconnect 1-2x and then they disconnect completely. dmesg attached, it can be reproduced with a chance of 95%. Sometimes I need a second speed test to crash it. No TLP active here, the usbcore.quirks didn't work for me.

lsusb shows me this: "Bus 008 Device 013: ID 0bda:8153 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL" and "Bus 008 Device 016: ID 0bda:8153 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8153 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter"

Pretty much same behavior over here, this was happening before patch for me 100% of the time. Now it happened at random. If it does crash during speedtest I did not manage to hit it since I tested it only once since the patch. Will try again soon.
Comment 113 ellePdesk 2024-03-06 11:59:50 UTC
I've done some testing today, and I've come to some interesting findings:
First: tnx to Ansgar Hegerfeld, speedtest upload is a very reliable trigger for the error.

When connecting the my separate dongle to the usb-a port or using a converter the usb-c ports on my laptop the behavior is not triggered.

When connecting the same dongle to my Thinkpad 40AY docking station, the behaviour can be reliably triggered.

The difference as far as I can tell is the addition of the internal usb 3.1 hub(s) of the docking station, usbid 17ef:30ab for the internal r8153 resp. 17ef:30ab and 17ef:30ad for the external.

My workaround for now is to connect the external usb-ethernet adapter to a usb 2 port of the hub and accept the lower speed.

output of 'lsusb -v -d  17ef:30ab':

Comment 114 numanair 2024-07-24 21:01:00 UTC
I have two USB r8153 from two different brands. Only one of them exhibits this problem. I can easily reproduce it with iperf3 in bidirectional mode (--bidir). Other modes were not reliably triggering the issue.
Comment 115 林博仁 2024-08-12 07:22:32 UTC
I would like to inform you that this bug is also reproduced on an OWC USB-C TRAVEL DOCK E product, related information:

```
OS distribution: Ubuntu 24.04
CPU architecture: AMD64
System: Framework Laptop 13(AMD 7040 series)
OS kernel: Ubuntu kernel 6.8.0-39-generic
Ethernet interface identifier: idVendor=0bda, idProduct=8153, bcdDevice=31.00
Ethernet interface firmware: rtl8153b-2 v2 04/27/23
Ethernet interface negotiated speed: 100MBit/s
Dock connections:

* Type-C to the host
* PD power input
* HDMI(to a 1080p external display)
* Ethernet: 100MBit/s
```

I thought the hub was overheated until this bug report was found.

Kernel log of the 6.8.0-39-generic Ubuntu kernel

Please disregard messages related to the rtl8156 chip as it is from another Ethernet interface that doesn't suffer from this issue(the Framework Ethernet Expansion Card).
Comment 117 ellePdesk 2024-10-04 09:17:12 UTC
For my Thinkpad 40AY the issue seems to be resolved with kernel 6.8.0-45 (ubuntu 24.04.1)
Both the internal ethernet of the dock and my external ethernet now run without issues.
Comment 118 Ansgar Hegerfeld 2024-10-13 18:52:30 UTC
Same here! I cannot reproduce this bug anymore with my speedtest.net-check, too. Didn't test it for 6 months and now I'm running 6.11.2-arch1-1 which works just as expected for multiple days. I could not trigger the failure even once using speedtest or iperf. Disabled all USB quirks and it doesn't matter which powersaving setting I'm using (power-profiles-daemon).

Hopefully this behavior will last longer than some of the other workarounds we saw here, thanks to everybody who invested time here!
Comment 119 Robin Tetour 2024-11-10 03:04:44 UTC
For me it was fine for a while, then after a specific kernel version (I am on 6.11.6 right now) it started happening again. Can someone please confirm or deny if 0bda:8153 is still having problems or not or recent stable kernel versions?
