Public bug reported:

Situation:

OS: Xubuntu 22.04.3
Kernel version: 6.2.0-39-generic
Network driver: r8169
Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI 
Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 01)
NAS model: Synology DiskStation DS223


The problem:

On a freshly installed Xubuntu 22.04.3, I use a cifs-mounted a Synology
DS223 NAS. It mounts without any problems and at first glance everything
seems to be working fine, until you start uploading large(r) files
(200MB+) to the NAS. The NAS will then randomly and for unknown reasons
crash or halt, causing the Xubuntu OS to halt or crash in turn. It does
so in any application (Thunar, copying files in bash, tuxcommander etc).
So, this problem doesn't seem to be application-related. I tried
mounting the NAS with different/additional mount-options and tried
several network settings and even checked the physical cables but
nothing had any effect.


The solution:

Eventually, I managed to trace the problem to my network device and I
replaced the r8169 driver for the r8168 version. This immediately solved
my problem. Now, copying from-and-to the mounted NAS works as expected.

Even though my problem is solved by installing the r8168 version of the
driver, there probably still remains a bug in the default r8169 driver
that causes this problem with my current setup.
