Hi,
I upgraded my kernel to 4.18.10 recently and have since been experiencing
network problems after resuming from a
suspend to RAM or disk. I previously had 4.18.6 and that was OK.
The pattern of the problem is that when I first boot, the network is fine. But,
after resume from suspend I find that
the time taken for a ping of one of my ISP's nameservers increases from 14-15ms
to more than 1000ms. Moreover, when I
open a browser (chromium or firefox), it fails to retrieve my home page
(https://www.google.co.uk) and pings of the
nameserver fail with the message "Destination Host Unreachable". Often, I can
revive the network by stopping it with
/sbin/if(down,up} but sometimes it is necessary to also remove the r8169 module
and load it again.
My investigation show that 4.18.7 is also OK, but 4.18.8 has the problem. So I
cloned the stable tree and bisected
between 4.18.7 and 4.18.8. The outcome was:
$ git bisect bad
e366979eb8f0c3ad6446abbd81bcb3d4ac569cb3 is the first bad commit

r8169: set RxConfig after tx/rx is enabled for RTL8169sb/8110sb devices
[ Upstream commit 05212ba8132b42047ab5d63d759c6f9c28e7eab5 ]
I have two Ethernet adapters:
r8169 0000:03:01.0 eth0: RTL8169sb/8110sb, 00:14:d1:14:2d:49, XID
10000000, IRQ 18
r8169 0000:01:00.0 eth0: RTL8168e/8111e, 64:66:b3:11:14:5d, XID 2c200000,
IRQ 30
And after upgrading from linux 4.15 [1] to linux 4.18+ [2] RTL8169sb failed
to
receive any packets. tcpdump shows a lot of checksum mismatch.
[1]: a0f79386a4968b4925da6db2d1daffd0605a4402
[2]: 0519359784328bfa92bf0931bf0cff3b58c16932 (4.19 merge window opened)
I started bisecting and the found that [3] breaks it. According to [4]:
"For 8110S, 8110SB, and 8110SC series, the initial value of RxConfig
needs to be set after the tx/rx is enabled."
So I moved rtl_init_rxcfg() after enabling tx/rs and now my adapter works
(RTL8168e works too).

[4]: e542a2269f232d61270ceddd42b73a4348dee2bb ("r8169: adjust the RxConfig
settings.")
Also drop "rx" from rtl_set_rx_tx_config_registers(), since it does nothing
with it already.

Ignoring the renaming of a function, the patch added a call to rtl_init_rxcfg()
to rtl_hw_start(). If I remove that call
from 4.18.10, my network no longer fails after a resume from suspend.
I should add that I get the same problem with the current 4.19 development
kernel, but I haven't tried removing the call
to rtl_init_rxcfg() from the driver. I'll do that later today and report back.
