From: You-Sheng Yang <vicamo.yang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d64c7a08034b32c285e576208ae44fc3ba3fa7df ] 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 disconnected 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 happens in, for example, r8153_init: static int generic_ocp_read(struct r8152 *tp, u16 index, u16 size, void *data, u16 type) { if (test_bit(RTL8152_UNPLUG, &tp->flags)) return -ENODEV; ... } static u16 ocp_read_word(struct r8152 *tp, u16 type, u16 index) { u32 data; ... generic_ocp_read(tp, index, sizeof(tmp), &tmp, type | byen); data = __le32_to_cpu(tmp); ... return (u16)data; } static void r8153_init(struct r8152 *tp) { ... if (test_bit(RTL8152_UNPLUG, &tp->flags)) return; for (i = 0; i < 500; i++) { if (ocp_read_word(tp, MCU_TYPE_PLA, PLA_BOOT_CTRL) & AUTOLOAD_DONE) break; msleep(20); } ... } Since ocp_read_word() doesn't check the return status of generic_ocp_read(), and the only exit condition for the loop is to have a match in the returned value, such loops will only ends after exceeding its maximum runs when the device has been marked as disconnected, which takes 500 * 20ms = 10 seconds in theory, 14 in practice. To solve this long latency another test to RTL8152_UNPLUG flag should be added after those 20ms sleep to skip unnecessary loops, so that the device probe can complete early and proceed to parent port reset/reprobe process. This can be reproduced on all kernel versions up to latest v5.6-rc2, but after v5.5-rc7 the reproduce rate is dramatically lowered to 1/30 or less while it was around 1/2.
