The below call stack prevents clk_gating at every IO completion. We can remove the condition, ufshcd_any_tag_in_use(), since clkgating_work will check it again. ufshcd_complete_requests(struct ufs_hba *hba) ufshcd_transfer_req_compl() __ufshcd_transfer_req_compl() __ufshcd_release(hba) if (ufshcd_any_tag_in_use() == 1) return; ufshcd_tmc_handler(hba); blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter(); Note that, this still requires a work to deal with a potential racy condition when user sets clkgating.delay_ms to very small value. That can cause preventing clkgating by the check of ufshcd_any_tag_in_use() in gate_work.
