Re: PROBLEM: powertop reports 8000 spurious interrupts/s from USB disk

I've never observed such absurd IRQ rates myself.

Now, "8000" is an interesting number since there are 1000 USB frames
per second, and 8 microframes per frame ... so you might be able to
make this better by "modprobe ehci-hcd log2_irq_thresh=3" to change
the IRQ latency from 1 microframe to 8.

Exactly.
