See > https://lkml.kernel.org/r/Pine.LNX.4.44L0.1806011629140.1404-100000@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Hi, Marcel! Yes, Sebastian is right. We are aiming to make it possible for the USB core to invoke URB completion handlers with interrupts enabled, in order to reduce latency (since USB interrupt processing can take a fairly long time). And of course, this means completion handlers have to work correctly regardless of whether interrupts are enabled or disabled. Currently ehci-hcd supports this possibility. Other host controller drivers may follow along; I'd like to see xhci-hcd do this too.
