Hi,

Not sure if this is a regression or not, but just find out that after upgrading to v5.9 kernel, one of my ethernet port on my ThinkPad T14 (ryzen version) becomes very slow.

Only *2~3* Mbps.

The laptop has two ethernet interfaces, one needs a passive adapter, the other one is a standard RJ45.

The offending one is the one which needs the adapter (eth0).
While the RJ45 one is completely fine.

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 0e)
05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 15)

The 02:00.0 one is the affected one.

The related dmesgs are:

Really nothing strange, even it negotiates to 1Gbps.

But during iperf3, it only goes up to miserable 3Mbps.

Is this some known bug or something special related to the passive adapter?

Since the adapter is passive, and hasn't experience anything wrong for a long time, I really doubt that.

Thanks,
Qu

Thanks for the report. From which kernel version did you upgrade? Please test
with the prior kernel version and report behavior (link stability and speed).
Under 5.9, does ethtool -S eth0 report packet errors?

Tested back to v5.7, which still shows the miserable performance.

So I guess it could be a faulty adapter?

Nope, no tx/rx_errors, no missed/aborted/underrun.

Adding that the adapter is completely passive (no chip, just converting
RJ45 pins to the I shaped pins), I'm not sure that the adapter itself
can fail.

THanks,

Each additional mechanical connection may cause reflections or other signal
disturbance. You could try to restrict the speed to 100Mbps via ethtool,
and see what the effective speed is then. 100Mbps uses two wire pairs only.

OK, you're right, now I can get around 60Mbps.

So definitely something wrong with the adapter.

Will use the RJ45 one and avoid use the ThinkPad proprietary interface.
