question about interrupt firing in controller

Dear all guys and Greg:
I have a question about when will the the hub_irq be called?

In hub_configure, we register the hub->urb as urb->complete function below:
	usb_fill_int_urb(hub->urb, hdev, pipe, *hub->buffer, maxp, hub_irq,
		hub, endpoint->bInterval);
and in hub_activate(hub), we submit it.
	status = usb_submit_urb(hub->urb, GFP_NOIO);

But the hub_irq is only called after usb_hcd_irq, the irq handler we register for the ehci.
It seems we submit the hub->urb to some place and it is been called after interrupt triggered. But where does it hide? 
Appreciate your help,
Cckuo

Ps:Below is the message I get from log and is what my surmise comes from.

calling hub_activate
