The IRQ handler is the point where you are informed by the hardware that a specific operation is complete. I don't see any use-case where it would be valid to drop the rpm refcount to 0 before the IRQ is handled. Surely the hardware needs to stay awake until the currently queued operations are complete and if the IRQ handler is the completion point the IRQ handler is the first point in time where your autosuspend timer should start to run. There should never be a situation where the timer expiry can get between IRQ signaling and the handler code running. Regards, Lucas
