Yes, I see the WARN_ON also on the other ports. Here is one from the separate card:

Actually the WARN_ON seems not to be causing the hang but to be rather a side effect of an 
"unstable" port. The WARN_ON occurs every few days but the port works fine most of the time. But 
when the port hangs (no more traffic) only a reboot fixes it.

These looks suspicious:

[ 8048.829832] r8169 0000:06:00.0 lan: link up
[64114.535455] r8169 0000:07:00.0 wan: link up
[74726.396319] r8169 0000:07:00.0 wan: link up

The ports seem to go up at random times (without "link down" message). This is also what we saw with 
MSI enabled: links thrashing in down/up cycles.

Unfortunately I am not able to do that.

please see above: links thrashing in down/up cycles.
I see that MSI/MSI-X has been disabled on quite a few chip versions (e.g. lately commit 72a579b8).
Does pci=nomsi disable MSI-X as well, or just MSI?
I could try adding my chip versions to these quirk sections. I couldn't find a way to disable 
MSI/MSI-X per device.

> A similar report is here:
> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201109

Also that report has the "link up" message after the WARN_ON.

> There the problem seems to start with the upgrade from 4.18.4 to 4.18.5.

Exactly. I think the incident is just so rare that correlating it with a specific upgrade is hard.

Thanks,
