Description:
Recent upgrade. Upon boot many copies of an ethernet error show on boot screen also in dmesg. Computer is flaky at times especially with lots of downloads. Maybe related with hangs of the computer from time to time?

Additional info:
* package version(s)

Kernel: 4.14.55-1-lts

* config and/or log files etc.

Motherboard: Asus M5A97 (amd)

Driver:
lsmod | grep r8169
r8169 94208 0
mii 16384 1 r8169

Boot message:

The current realtek driver on the realtek web page appears to be newer than the Linux kernel version:
http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=4&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#92
This link shows driver version 6.025 versus the kernel message showing version 2.3LK-NAPI

This post suggests that this has been around for a while
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/amd-vi-event-logged-%5Bio_page_fault-ethernet-controller-4175615079/page2.html

Steps to reproduce:

Reboot machine
The DMESG clip showing 'IO Page Fault' above message appears on the screen over and over until graphic login appears.

Is the issue also present on 4.17.7 / 4.18-rc5 ? Does the driver you linked from the realtek website resolve the issue?
What is upstream's http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#netdev response to the issue?

Comment by Keith (keithg) - Tuesday, 17 July 2018, 17:05 GMT

I have not been able to build this, yet, but the one poster in the thread claims it does fix his problem. I can try to build it tonight and see if it fixes it.

I looked at linus' kernel git and it shows the same driver (2.3LK-NAPI) that I have now and that the other poster from 4.4 kernel had.

I just browsed through the netdev list and this error does not seem to be mentioned. Should I subscribe and post the problem there? I have another partition with ubuntu 16.10 which uses an older kernel and it boots without issue. I never saw this before with Arch until I updated recently. I am running the -lts kernel.

Comment by loqs (loqs) - Tuesday, 17 July 2018, 17:12 GMT

What was the last kernel without the issue? I would test 4.17-6/4.17-7 and if that is still affected 4.18-rc5 before contacting the netdev mailing list.

Comment by Keith (keithg) - Saturday, 21 July 2018, 12:12 GMT

I will test older kernels to find the one that worked w/o error.

I did try to build the module in the Realtek link. The module builds, but is 19k versus 30k (compressed). When I try to load it, I get a flooded dmesg and no internet, so the driver in the link does not seem to work as-is. The dmesg errors I am getting are (I get tons of these with the module I built):

I just tried linux-4.17.8-1 linux-lts-4.14.39-2 and linux-lts-4.14.52-1, and get same behavior as with the current linux-lts-4.14.56-1. It seems to work as I get a functional computer, but the fault I get with these kernels is this:

IN researching this, I ran across this module patch:
https://github.com/KastB/r8169
I built the patch and forced it to load on boot, but still get a similar error (some addresses are different):
