The irq thread has a higher latency than the tasklet. The performance drop is measurable on the system I tried: Before: # dd if=/dev/mmcblk1 of=/dev/null bs=1G count=1 & 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 4.44502 s, 242 MB/s After: # dd if=/dev/mmcblk1 of=/dev/null bs=1G count=1 & 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 4.50898 s, 238 MB/s So we only want to resort to the thread for the error case.
