Subject: r8169 Driver - Poor Network Performance Since Kernel 4.19
Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2019 22:13:48 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAMLO_R7Q6QCr7KX5goOvJ_BzDLU_tnw3UkMKzwDmL4C2BHubVA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I have been experiencing very poor network performance since Kernel
4.19 and I'm confident it's related to the r8169 driver.

I have no issue with kernel versions 4.18 and prior. I am experiencing
this issue in kernels 4.19 and 4.20 (currently running/testing with
4.20.4 & 4.19.18).

If someone could guide me in the right direction, I'm happy to help
troubleshoot this issue. Note that I have been keeping an eye on one
issue related to loading of the PHY driver, however, my symptoms
differ in that I still have a network connection. I have attempted to
reload the driver on a running system, but this does not improve the
situation.

Using the proprietary r8168 driver returns my device to proper working order.
