Description jian-hong 2018-09-19 09:06:59 UTC
Originally, we have an issue where r8169 MSI-X interrupts were broken
after S3 suspend/resume on RTL8106e of ASUS X441UAR.

We had done some diagnostic and reported result. https://lists.openwall.net/netdev/2018/08/27/33

Here is the status of the Ethernet adapter before suspend:

The config is the same, but values in BAR=4 are weird after resume. They all become 0xFF.

We can only fall back to MSI interrupt with the commit 7bb05b85bc2d1a1b647b91424b "r8169: don't use MSI-X on RTL8106e" to fix the issue at that time.
Comment 1 jian-hong 2018-09-19 09:12:28 UTC
However, there is a commit which resolves the drivers getting nothing in PCI BAR after system resumes.
The commit is 04cb3ae895d7efdc60f0fe17182b200a3da20f09 "PCI: Reprogram bridge prefetch registers on resume" by Daniel Drake.

I checked with applying the commit "PCI: Reprogram bridge prefetch registers on resume" and reverting the commit "r8169: don't use MSI-X on RTL8106e" based on Linux kernel 4.19-rc4.

The Ethernet controller uses MSI-X interrupt now.

System gets some from the PCI BAR4 of ethernet adapter after system resumes.

So, the the ethernet adapter works correctly after system resumes.
Comment 6 jian-hong 2018-09-19 09:25:32 UTC
I am going to make a patch to revert the commit the commit "r8169: don't use MSI-X on RTL8106e" after the commit "PCI: Reprogram bridge prefetch registers on resume".
Comment 7 Heiner Kallweit 2018-09-19 10:54:30 UTC
Thanks for adding me, I saw this PCI bridge fix too and that its commit message mentions it fixes also the r8169 MSI-X issue for few users.
So I think we can safely assume that we can effectively revert both MSI-X-related workarounds (also "r8169: don't use MSI-X on RTL8168g").

Maybe we can get the test result from Steve and Lou for RTL8168g.
Comment 10 jian-hong 2018-09-20 03:34:17 UTC
Hi Steve and Lou,

Could you help test as Comment 8?

You can apply the commit 04cb3ae895d7efdc60f0fe17182b200a3da20f09 "PCI: Reprogram bridge prefetch registers on resume" by Daniel Drake first.

Then, apply the patch attachment 278675 [details].

Finally, revert the commit 7c53a722459c1d6ffb0f5b2058c06ca8980b8600 "r8169: don't use MSI-X on RTL8168g".

If the ethernet adapter works fine before suspend and after resume, then the commit "PCI: Reprogram bridge prefetch registers on resume" also fixes the RTL8168g issue.

I'm a bit groggy from medication this morning so not 100% sure I have patched and built correctly, but it *seems* Daniel Drake's patch does the trick :)

Uhm, great!!! It seems we can remove the falling back to MSI interrupt codes for RTL8168g and RTL8106e after the commit "PCI: Reprogram bridge prefetch registers on resume".
Comment 13 Steve Dodd 2018-09-21 09:45:17 UTC
As I said, not 100% sure - health problems flaring at the moment and
struggling to concentrate. Maybe Jan could confirm or someone on the
Ubuntu side could roll me a.deb just to be sure?

The PCI bridge fix is included in latest linux-next. So the MSI-X workarounds in r8169 can be removed. Are you going to submit the change?

Sure!  Going to submit attachment 278675 [details] tomorrow.

But I still not confirm RTL8168g part completely, due to comment 13.  However, still thanks for Steve's test.  Any idea for RTL8168g?
Comment 16 Heiner Kallweit 2018-10-19 22:37:23 UTC
RTL8168g is now back to MSI-X too (applied to net stable tree). So I think this bug can be closed.

Works good for me either, thanks.
