Hi,
The problems are especially easy to trigger via LTE modem in QMI mode
using the qmi_wwan driver on mainline Linux 5.3. When pushing big bulk
transfers over the modem it quickly triggers kernel oops in the
network stack. I have based my defconfig of bcm2835_defconfig.
In this example I use a SIM 7600e modem and run Linux 5.4:

There is always at least one USB channel that gets halted in the dwc2
controller driver(modem sits on the USB bus) just before the kernel
oops happens. There seems to be some weird race condition or
concurrency issue going on when a USB channel gets halted and the
driver attempts to handle it.
I can trigger it easily by just wget a big file - it usually happens
within 40 seconds or so. I did a quick ugly fix, just for
experimenting, and somehow this seems to fix it:

I can still occasionally see:
dwc2 3f980000.usb: dwc2_hc_chhltd_intr_dma: Channel 5
- ChHltd set, but reason is unknown
But now it doesn't crash when doing wget on big files or when doing
full updates over the modem.
Why does this work?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Fredrik Yhlen
