Dell USB Type C docking WD19/WD19DC attaches additional peripherals as:
/: Bus 02.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/6p, 5000M
|__ Port 1: Dev 11, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/4p, 5000M
|__ Port 3: Dev 12, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/4p, 5000M
|__ Port 4: Dev 13, If 0, Class=Vendor Specific Class,
Driver=r8152, 5000M
where usb 2-1-3 is a hub connecting all USB Type-A/C ports on the dock.
When hotplugging such dock with additional usb devices already attached on
it, the probing process may reset usb 2.1 port, therefore r8152 ethernet
device is also reset. However, during r8152 device init there are several
for-loops that, when it's unable to retrieve hardware registers due to
being discconected from USB, may take up to 14 seconds each in practice,
and that has to be completed before USB may re-enumerate devices on the
bus. As a result, devices attached to the dock will only be available
after nearly 1 minute after the dock was plugged in:
[ 216.388290] [250] r8152 2-1.4:1.0: usb_probe_interface
[ 216.388292] [250] r8152 2-1.4:1.0: usb_probe_interface - got id
[ 258.830410] r8152 2-1.4:1.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): PHY not ready
[ 258.830460] r8152 2-1.4:1.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): Invalid header when reading pass-thru MAC addr
[ 258.830464] r8152 2-1.4:1.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): Get ether addr fail
This can be reproduced on all kernel versions up to latest v5.6-rc2, but
after v5.5-rc7 the reproduce rate is dramatically lower to 1/30 or so
while it was around 1/2.
The time consuming for-loops are at:
